hair follicle hair fiber embryonic development genes skin

TLDR Tan sheep's unique fur traits are determined during the embryonic stage by specific genes.

The paper reviewed the germplasm characteristics, embryonic development, and ecological factors influencing the formation of lamb skin in Tan sheep, focusing on the period from birth to 30 days old. It highlighted that the development of this special trait is determined during the embryonic stage and may be linked to the expression and regulation of genes related to hair follicle and hair fiber development.
