    Studysummary In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.
