This study found that Magra sheep with high-luster wool exhibited significantly higher expression of keratin genes, suggesting that increased keratin protein levels may be crucial for wool luster.

In these studies, researchers found that Peruvian camelids reach mature skin follicle development early, with specific cuticular characteristics useful for distinguishing fleece types, while Bolivian llamas have a mature follicle apparatus present at birth.

This study found that specific genetic variations in the IRF2BP2 gene influence fleece structure in sheep, with one variant completely determining coat type and another significantly modifying fiber characteristics, providing valuable insights for improving fleece quality through selective breeding.

This study examined vicuña skin and hair follicle structures, finding a high density of secondary hairs in fleece areas compared to belly and legs, and identified various types of cutaneous glands potentially important for chemical communication.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in the FGF5 gene significantly increased wool length and yield in genetically modified Chinese Merino sheep compared to wild-type controls.

In this study, researchers identified genes IRF2BP2 and EGFR as key to understanding double-coated fleece formation in Hetian sheep, offering insights that may advance machine learning-driven multi-omics selection models in sheep breeding.

This study found that certain FZD3 gene variants were significantly associated with wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential as genetic markers for breeding.

This study suggests that changes in expressed transcripts and splice isoforms may explain the transition from curly to straight fleece in Chinese Tan sheep as they age.

In this study, Australian cashmere goats receiving protein supplements maintained their weight and showed increased fleece growth, though cashmere growth was largely unaffected.

This study found that transcriptome profiling of cashmere goat skin revealed key genes and pathways involved in hair follicle initiation, differentiation, and maturation, which are critical for improving fleece production.

This study investigated the impact of prolactin and melatonin on secondary hair follicle growth patterns in Angora and Cashmere goats using in vitro methods, without reporting new definitive results.

This study found that repeated immunization against melatonin in Australian feral goats temporarily increased cashmere production and altered growth cycles, but these effects diminished after the first year.

This study found that down and guard hairs of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats have distinct protein compositions and physical properties, with keratin-related proteins potentially influencing these differences.

This study found that cashmere has a significantly smaller mean fiber diameter compared to sheep and goat wool, and identified key proteins that may influence this difference.

This study demonstrated that both classical and atypical BSE strains from cattle can be transmitted to goats, highlighting the importance of surveillance in protecting public health.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tissues from two types of Jinlan Cashmere Goats and identified crucial non-coding RNA mechanisms potentially impacting cashmere yield, revealing significant DE lncRNAs, mRNA expressions, and pathways relevant to cashmere quality improvement.

This study conducted a genome-wide association analysis on 1,125 ewes and identified 24 SNPs associated with wool production traits, and highlighted potential candidate genes like ADAR and TP53 for further research into the genetic mechanisms influencing wool growth in sheep.

Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.

This study found that certain genes were significantly associated with hair length in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, potentially serving as molecular markers for different hair types.

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

This study found that single-born cashmere goats had higher birth weights, pre-weaning growth rates, and superior cashmere production attributes compared to twin-born goats, despite twin-born goats achieving compensatory growth post-weaning.

This study identified key molecular differences between Long and Short hair type cashmere goats, suggesting hair type differentiation is linked to structural assembly and follicle remodeling.

In this study, researchers found that disrupting the PRL gene in mice led to earlier hair molting, especially in females, suggesting that PRL inhibits murine hair cycle events.

This study found that disrupting the PRL gene in mice alters the timing of hair cycling events, causing earlier molts and changes in hair characteristics, particularly affecting female mice more significantly.

This study found that miR-432 inhibits KRT83 expression, revealing potential molecular mechanisms for the formation of curly fleece in Tan sheep and suggesting implications for understanding curly hair formation in humans.

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 found that ectopic expression of FGF5s in transgenic Chinese Merino sheep increased wool length and greasy fleece weight compared to non-transgenic controls.

Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.

This study identified key proteins, FKBP10 and FBN2, that promote the growth cycle of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, with higher expression in the anagen phase, offering insights into mechanisms potentially enhancing cashmere yield and quality.

This study identified 53 keratins in the yak genome, predicting diverse phosphorylation sites and subcellular localizations, and highlighted strong gene expression correlations during the yak hair follicle development cycle.
