Overexpression of FGF5s makes Chinese Merino sheep grow longer and heavier wool.
research Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.
research CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated loss of FGF5 function increases wool staple length in sheep
Disabling the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to longer wool.

Certain genetic markers linked to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep were identified, which can guide better breeding choices.
research Hair follicle characteristics and fibre production in South American camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Increased Vibrissa Growth in Transgenic Mice Expressing Insulin-like Growth Factor 1
IGF-1 increases whisker growth in transgenic mice.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.

The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
research Effect of Nutritional Restriction on the Hair Follicles Development and Skin Transcriptome of Chinese Merino Sheep
Poor maternal nutrition can lead to fewer wool follicles in Chinese Merino sheep.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Expression of the RORα gene in Inner Mongolian cashmere goat hair follicles
The RORα gene is active in different parts of cashmere goat hair follicles and may be influenced by melatonin, especially in December when hair growth changes.
