January 2021 in “Genes” The study investigated the periodic development of hair follicles in cashmere goats, which may involve unique regulatory molecules and signaling pathways compared to other species. Using weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) on an NCBI public dataset, researchers identified 10 coexpression modules with 7,689 protein-coding genes, six of which were significantly related to the hair follicle cycle. Functional enrichment analysis revealed connections to pathways such as ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, and PI3K-Akt signaling. Twelve hub genes, including COL1A1 and AQP3, were identified as potential markers for enhancing cashmere production.
