This study achieved successful cloning of the ovine keratin associated protein 6-1 gene, which may facilitate future research on transgenic animals and hair follicle gene regulation.

This study found that in Merino-Southdown cross sheep, the presence of the C variant of the KRTAP26-1 gene was associated with higher wool quality, including increased wool yield and staple length.

In this study, the presence of certain KAP15-1 gene variants in sheep was associated with differences in wool yield and fiber characteristics.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.
