November 2022 in “eLife” This study found that specific genetic changes in both coding and noncoding regions may have independently driven the evolution of hairlessness in various mammalian species through accelerated evolution.
This research identified genetic sequences that evolved at different rates in hairless versus hairy mammals, suggesting specific genetic changes contributed to the convergent evolution of hairlessness across various mammalian species.
This study suggests that specific genetic changes, including mutations in protein-coding genes and noncoding regions, have contributed to the evolution of hairlessness in multiple mammalian species.

January 2021 in “BMC Genomics” This study found that high wool-producing Wan Strain Angora rabbits had higher hair follicle density and identified potential regulatory long noncoding RNAs that may influence this trait.
January 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that Wan strain Angora rabbits with high wool production exhibited higher hair follicle density and identified long noncoding RNAs that may regulate this trait.
