This study found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.

In this study, researchers found that oar-miR-377 regulates secondary hair follicle development in sheep by downregulating the SLC24A2 gene, and a specific SNP in oar-miR-377 is significantly associated with wool fiber diameter variation in Chinese Merino sheep.

This research identified key miRNAs involved in sheep fetal hair follicle development, highlighting the prolactin signaling pathway and platelet activation as critical processes in secondary follicle initiation.

This study found that triglyceride and energy metabolic pathways are crucial factors influencing wool fiber diameter in fine-wool Alpine Merino sheep, providing insights for enhancing wool quality.

This study identified four circRNAs with significantly different expression levels in Liaoning cashmere goats, suggesting a potential role in regulating cashmere fineness.
