Screened of Long Non-Coding RNA Related to Wool Development and Fineness in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep

This study found distinct expression patterns of various transcription types during hair follicle morphogenesis, providing a foundation for understanding hair development mechanisms and aiding selective breeding for desirable wool traits in a specific breed.

This study identified 2574 differentially expressed genes in the hair follicles of Wan strain Angora rabbits, suggesting that these genes may influence wool fiber diameter and quality.

In this study, researchers observed that metabolite expression patterns, including sugars, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides, affect hair follicle growth in cashmere goats, with feeding practices potentially influencing these cycles via hormone and vitamin levels.

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

This study identified genetic differences between Australian White Sheep and Hu Sheep that may explain their distinct pelage types, with a focus on subcutaneous adiposity and immunoregulation. The findings suggest potential targets for breeding climate-resilient sheep, enhancing our understanding of heat tolerance in these breeds.
