TLDR Certain genes and pathways are crucial for high-quality brush hair in Yangtze River Delta White Goats.
The study identified key genes and pathways involved in the production of high-quality brush hair in the Yangtze River Delta White Goat using RNA sequencing. Researchers found 295 differentially expressed genes, including MAP3K1, DUSP1, and DUSP6, with significant roles in hair follicle development and the MAPK signaling pathway. These findings provided insights into the genetic basis of hair quality, which could be useful for breeding programs aimed at improving hair quality in this goat breed.
