September 2022 in “Frontiers in veterinary science” In this study, researchers used high-throughput sequencing to explore lncRNA interactions in cashmere goat hair follicles during embryonic development, finding lncRNAs potentially regulate genes in the Wnt and PI3K-Akt pathways related to hair follicle growth.
Among Super Merino and Small-Tailed Han sheep, this study identified differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs linked to hair follicle growth and fiber traits, suggesting their potential roles in regulating these important wool characteristics through RNA sequencing and gene enrichment analyses.
