CRY1
CRY1 gene markerA core circadian-clock component regulating day/night rhythm. Note: magnetoreception research focuses on CRY4 — a different cryptochrome from CRY1.
A candidate locus for rhythm and racing-performance reference, used together with other loci and race records.
A pigeon-specific study (Dybus 2021, Animals) reported a statistical association between CRY1 polymorphism and racing performance. CRY1 must not be claimed as the "magnetoreception gene".
A gene test returns probabilistic information about a genetic tendency, not a performance forecast. A pigeon's actual results are shaped by many factors acting together — genetics, training, nutrition, health and environment. The effect of any single locus is limited, so read it alongside other performance loci, race records and pedigree.
