Agouti gene
The Agouti gene is responsible for determining whether a mammal's coat is banded (agouti) or of a solid color (non-agouti). The chief product of the Agouti gene is Agouti signalling peptide (ASP), but there are a number of alternative splice products.
In dogs, the Agouti gene is associated with various coat colors and patterns, including sable and tan points.
In horses, the Agouti gene suppresses the action of the extension locus that produces black pigment (eumelanin) into point coloration on the mane, tail, lower legs and tips of the ears, thus allowing the underlying red pigment, pheomelanin, to appear on the body. This produces the color known as bay.
Mice that are heterozygous for the Agouti yellow allele have yellow coats and tendencies towards obesity. Mice that are homozygous for the Agouti yellow allele have the lethal gene. Mice that are homozygous for the non-agouti allele and non-agouti-yellow allele have non-agouti coat color (such as black).
In cats, the dominant form of the Agouti gene causes the tabby pattern, while the recessive form allows non-tabby coats.

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Uh huh
Thinking back when things were so easy
Got me laughing out loud, for no reason
I use to take them cans back and collect them nickels
Trading garbage pail kid cards for sweet pickles
The whole block used to have G.I. Joe battles
Yeah yer boy had the original storm shadow
And as of lately things have been slow
So I reminisce on when we use to break them windows
Yeah, Til I got snatched by the cops
With a wiffle ball bat and a hand full of rocks (Wasn't me)
Consider this song a throw back
Cause all I wanna do is go back
Ya'll sing it with me
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Tell em!
And this was way before playstation
Rushing home to watch Video vibrations
Man I tell you Sherry Carter coulda got the business
And I cant forget Rachel from Caribbean rhythms
This was back when Rap city used to play the jams
This is how I first heard about the Wutang Clan
Banged 36 chambers all summer long
And to this day canopy's my favorite summer song
And I can drop names for days
Of all my favorite artists who helped to pave the way
But, we probably need a lot more then just 4 minutes
So this is how I'm gonna end it
Everybody sing
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Yeah, I'm on the bus in the back lounge
Sweaty, cold confused in another unfamiliar town
Another sold out show
Spilling my soul to a ton of people I don't know
And I can feel my skin wearing thinner
4th night no appetite for dinner
Shit goddamn well ain't life grand
Getting paid to stand on stage with yer heart in yer hand
Sometimes I squeeze it til they get worried
If this is groundhogs day I guess I'm Bill Murray
And I swear I'm not complaining at all
I love each and everyone of ya'll
All I'm really sayin is....
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (cmon)
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
