    Studysummary In this study, researchers conducting a genome-wide association study on 263 adult female goats identified significant genomic variants linked to coarse hair diameter, particularly emphasizing a crucial region on Chromosome 10. These findings enhance understanding of the genetic factors influencing fiber diameter in goats.
