Scientists unlock the hidden gene behind ginger cats' orange fur and what it means for their future
Source: BBC Ginger cats are an enduring fascination of the public, from Garfield to Puss in Boots to the much sought-after Toulouse from The Aristocats. Their orange coats and unique personalities have turned them into icons of popular culture. Scientists have now at last discovered a mystery that has lain hidden for decades regarding what makes these cats orange. Recent research by researchers in the United States and Japan has made major contributions to understanding the genetic processes that produce the distinctive fur color of ginger cats, specifically males. The discovery of the genetics of ginger cats is not only an intellectual victory—it's a tribute to the way science and enthusiasm for animals can merge. As scientists explore the genetics of domestic cats, it not only has the potential to reveal more about the health of our beloved pets but also to help us understand better the interplay between genetics, health, and behaviour. Scientists find the gene behind ginger cats' orange colour For decades, it was established that genes were responsible for ginger cats' orange coloration, but just what aspect of their genome was involved remained a mystery. Now, two teams of scientists—one at Kyushu University in Japan and the other at Stanford University in the United States—have simultaneously published their findings. Their research reveals a significant discovery: ginger cats are missing a specific section of their genetic code, which causes their cells to produce lighter pigments in their skin, eyes, and fur. This genetic anomaly impacts the melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigmentation. The secret to this finding is the ARHGAP36 gene, which is most active in the cells that influence skin, fur, and eye pigmentation. In their study, the researchers determined that ginger cats lack a portion in the DNA sequence of this gene. Under normal circumstances, this gene would inhibit activity, but without this DNA segment, the gene itself stays active, stimulating the production of light-colored pigments. In their study, the scientists compared the DNA of cats with ginger fur to those without. This comparison revealed that the missing DNA segment within the ARHGAP36 gene plays a crucial role in producing the distinctive orange color of ginger cats. This finding not only explains the phenomenon of ginger fur, but it also represents a major breakthrough in understanding feline genetics. Why are most ginger cat's male Yet another age-old observation regarding ginger cats is that they are predominantly males. The new research identifies a genetic explanation for this fact. The gene ARHGAP36, which is responsible for the ginger coat color, is on the X chromosome. Male cats, like all mammals, have one Y and one X chromosome, whereas females have two X chromosomes. For males, only one missing piece of DNA on the X chromosome is sufficient to create a complete orange coat. Female cats need to have the genetic mutation on both their X chromosomes in order to express the same extent of pigmentation and therefore fully orange female cats are much less common. Even more impressive about this finding is its beginnings. The lead researcher was Professor Hiroyuki Sasaki, a retired geneticist and dogged feline enthusiast. Even after retiring from his university position, Sasaki was determined to unlock the genetic code of the ginger cats. Funded by thousands of like-minded cat fans across the globe, Sasaki attracted more than 10 million yen (£55,109) through crowdfunding to carry out the research. The project touched the hearts of cat enthusiasts, some who even contributed their pocket money to help with the project. Understanding the ARHGAP36 gene and its connection to ginger cats and health Whereas the breakthrough centers on pigmentation, the ARHGAP36 gene also has an important function in other areas of the body, such as the brain and hormone glands. This leaves open the potential that the genetic mutation leading to ginger coloring might have implications for overall feline behavior and well-being. While there is no scientific research yet to connect coat color with personality, some scientists, such as Sasaki, are fascinated by the possibility of a link and intend to explore further. Besides its applicability to cats, the ARHGAP36 gene has also been associated with skin cancer and baldness in humans. This is a testament to the possibility of the study having applications to human health as well. The identification of the genetic basis of ginger cats' coat color is a major breakthrough in genetics. It not only answers a decades-old mystery but also creates new opportunities for researching the health and temperament of cats. The research will likely lead to more, and possibly feline- and human-beneficial, studies. As genetic research in animals keeps reaching new heights, researchers could also discover more surprises regarding the contribution of individual genes to physical features and health. Thanks to the cooperation of a committed worldwide network of cat enthusiasts, these advances might also lead to improved disease understanding and treatment in cats.

Disney is pulling back on trigger warnings for old movies
Disney (DIS) is overhauling how it warns users on its streaming platform of older films that contain racial stereotypes. Starting in 2020, Disney+ would autoplay disclaimers before movies such as Dumbo, Peter Pan, The Aristocats, warning of 'negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures' and that 'these stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.' Disney has now decided to do away with these warnings. Instead, the company will now include a text disclaimer in the details section of the films that says these movies 'may contain stereotypes or negative depictions,' according to a note sent to employees on Wednesday, Axios reported. Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Quartz. The move is part of a broader effort at the House of Mouse to change its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, amid the Trump Administration's targeting of DEI programs in the government. In addition to the adjusted content warnings, Disney is replacing its 'Diversity & Inclusion' performance factor when evaluating executive compensation. The new 'Talent Strategy' factor will instead absorb some criteria from the previous factor but focus more on values that drive business. Disney is not alone in unwinding its DEI efforts; several companies have announced changes to their diversity programs in the wake of the President Donald Trump's inauguration. Facebook-parent Meta (META), Google, and Walmart have all said they are scaling back their DEI programs. 'We're in the middle of a pretty rapidly changing policy and regulatory landscape that views any policy that might advantage any one group of people over another as something that is unlawful,' Meta CEO Mark Zuckerburg told employees in a meeting last month. 'Because of that, we and every other institution out there are going to need to adjust.' Conversely, some companies have said they will be sticking with their DEI programs including Costco and McDonalds. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

America's wokest company Disney reverses DEI policies, makes major changes to classic films
Disney is making major changes to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, including the removal of content warnings from several classic films on Disney+. The company, long associated with progressive initiatives, has decided to restore beloved titles like Dumbo and Peter Pan to their original form, removing disclaimers about outdated cultural depictions. A memo obtained by Axios revealed that Disney's Chief Human Resources Officer, Sonia Coleman, announced the policy shift on Tuesday. The new advisory will now state, 'This program is presented as originally created and may contain stereotypes or negative depictions,' replacing previous messages that warned of 'negative depictions and/or mistreatment of peoples or cultures.' The decision impacts several films, including The Aristocats , The Jungle Book , and Lady and the Tramp , which had been flagged for racial and cultural stereotypes. In addition to content changes, Disney is eliminating the DEI factor in executive compensation, replacing it with a broader 'talent strategy' that emphasizes success-driven values rather than representation-based hiring. The company is also dissolving its Reimagine Tomorrow initiative, which was designed to amplify voices from underrepresented communities. Disney's move aligns with a broader corporate shift across America as several companies reassess their DEI commitments. CEO Bob Iger, who previously championed socially conscious storytelling, has recently stated that Disney's primary goal is entertainment, not activism. The reversal follows mounting criticism that Disney had prioritized political messaging over storytelling, with Iger previously acknowledging that the company should 'not be agenda-driven.' The policy change comes as major corporations—including Google—pull back from DEI initiatives under new federal directives. President Trump's administration has been actively rolling back DEI policies, with federal agencies ordered to remove materials related to gender ideology and climate initiatives. Disney's latest move signals a significant shift in how entertainment giants approach cultural sensitivity and corporate responsibility.
