This report from SRUC VS highlighted a suspected case of Schmallenberg virus infection in a calf born to an imported heifer, noting consistent clinical signs and seroconversion in the dam.

This study discovered that lambs with coarse, ancestral-like wool in a population of modern fine wool sheep exhibited overexpression of the SOSTDC1 gene, linked to epigenetic changes, which helps understand the development and diversification of wool types in sheep breeding.

This study identified the rough coat mutation in mice, but found that LOXL is not the causal gene, although its downregulation might contribute to related phenotypic changes.

This study on the sheepgenomics program reported significant progress in identifying genes that can be manipulated to enhance wool production and quality in sheep.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.

This study identified genomic regions and genes associated with wool, live weight, body condition, and reproduction traits in Uruguayan Merino sheep, highlighting potential genetic factors influencing these characteristics.

This study found that specific genes related to vascular endothelial growth factors are critical for feather maturity in certain chicken breeds, identifying key genetic markers that could enhance breeding efficiency.

This study found that using trait prevalence-informed priors may improve the prediction accuracy of appearance traits in Bayesian models, but their application is limited by sparse knowledge on trait prevalence.

This study found that maternal melatonin supplementation improved fur quality in Rex rabbit offspring by increasing hair follicle density and altering melatonin receptor gene expression in several organs.

This study found that greater root surface area due to root hairs contributed to better growth and zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil.

This review discusses genetic skin diseases in humans and animals, offering a resource for memorization and exploring animal models' role in understanding human disease mechanisms; it reports no new clinical results.

This study presented a refined surgical protocol for a fetal mouse model that improves pregnancy success, reduces fetal loss, and allows for consistent phenotypic outcomes, enhancing research in scarless skin regeneration.

This study found that gamma-ray exposure on the day of fertilization or the day after increased genome editing efficiency in pregnant mice using the i-GONAD method, potentially aiding in the creation of diverse experimental animal models.

This study reports that milk goats exhibit significantly more differentially expressed genes related to hair follicle cycling across different months compared to cashmere goats, especially in December.

In studying wild meerkats, researchers observed that matriarchs with high androgen levels during late gestation exhibited increased dominance and aggression, affecting both their behavior and their offspring's aggression.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This case report describes a rare instance of a Chinese Crested dog with leukocyte chimerism, normal female external genitalia, and hormonally active Sertoli cell tumors, demonstrating surgery as a curative treatment option.

This study found that horizontally bisected donor hairs can be used to create finer hairlines, with about 46-47% growth reported in transplanted hair shafts and bulbs.

Since 1995, we only use Follicular Unit Transplantation for hair restoration and stopped using minigrafting/micrografting techniques.

This review highlights that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in hair follicle development and cycling in cashmere goats, detailing recent advances in understanding their regulatory functions and potential applications in improving cashmere fiber quality and diagnosing hair disorders.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

The study found that exposing Arbas Cashmere goats to a short photoperiod significantly increased cashmere production by extending the anagen phase of hair follicles, with gene expression changes identified as contributing factors.

This narrative review discusses various epidemiological study designs, the importance of reliable bias assessment tools, and the implications of database use for hypothesis testing in different research areas; it reports no new results.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This study reports that hypotrichosis congenita in Hereford cattle is associated with a KRT71 mutation, leading to color dilution follicular dysplasia.

This research developed a pig graph pangenome assembly of 27 genomes, revealing the importance of structural variations in adaptation and breed-specific traits, with BTF3 identified as a key gene influencing intramuscular fat and meat quality.

The new system makes hair transplants faster and more precise.

This study found that abnormal liver and kidney copper metabolism in Br females had no clinical effects, whereas defective brain copper metabolism in Br males was clinically significant.
