Here, we use the corn snake to investigate the generative mechanisms of skin colors beyond the zebrafish model. We perform sequencing and annotation of a nearly chromosome-quality genome of the corn snake, followed by mapping-by-sequencing and identification of a mutation in the lysosomal trafficking regulator gene ( LYST ) in the lavender variant with strongly affected coloration. Further analyses indicate that color-producing organelles of all chromatophores are substantially impacted in the LYST mutant, indicating that not only melanosomes, but also xanthosomes and iridosomes, are all lysosome-related organelles.
