I remember the article that Rick Ernst wrote in one of the iris journals where he said they isolated the red gene and were successful in getting it into the iris tissue, but the resulting "red" iris wasn't really red either. So they figured there were other genes/factors affecting the color and I thought they gave up at that point. Does anyone have any further information?
