Any news on genetics?

If anyone has any URLs to blogs that are posting info on how this is going, I'd love to see those posted.

I'm not really good at the on-the-ground element of figuring this out, but I'm really interested in reading people's findings on this topic.

I'm trying to figure out how many "alleles" or data points each Meeroo inherits from each parent, and thus how many each Meeroo carries. This seems to be an important factor in figuring out which traits or dominant or recessive... and sorting out what traits each Meeroo might be "hiding" in their data.

I'm wondering if they get one trait from each parent... or if maybe some traits they get two or three. I know coat types and colours interact far more complexly IRL than in most breedables, I'm just trying to get a bead on how complicated the Meeroos are operating.

Any info or resources would be a great help.
