Genomic And Transcriptomic Landscape To Decipher The Genetic Basis Of Hyperpigmentation In Lanping Black-Boned Sheep

In this study, researchers identified key genes such as EDNRB2, GPNMB, TRPM1, TYR, and DCT that regulate melanin deposition in the breast muscles of black-boned chickens, contributing to their unique pigmentation during embryonic development.

This study identified genetic variations associated with black and white wool color in Gangba sheep, enhancing understanding of wool color genetics and aiding selective breeding for specific wool colors in Tibetan sheep.

This study found that differentially expressed genes in horses with white versus black coats may regulate coat color, providing insights into the genetics of skin melanin synthesis.

This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.
