The Agouti gene , with its dominant A allele and recessive a allele, controls the coding for agouti signaling protein (ASIP; Q865F0 ).

The mane, tail, and ear rims are referred to as "trim" and roughly correspond to the "points" of horses. Most donkeys have light points. The coat colors without light points may be called "no light points", "dark points", or "black points". Dark points are caused by a recessive allele of agouti found in Normand and Miniature donkeys.
