To expand on this article, it might be useful to add information on the role of transcription factors on the development of melanoblasts. This might include details about the Foxd3 and MITF transcription factors and their signaling mechanisms. Also, heterozygosity for MITF can lead to changes in the expression of pigments in different organisms because it causes the death of melanoblasts. It might be useful to talk about the changes in pigment that can be seen in examples of humans, dogs, horses, etc. Source: Gilbert, Scott F. (2014). Developmental Biology.
