This study found that variation in the ovine KRTAP27-1 gene may influence wool growth, with certain genotypes associated with higher mean staple length and greasy fleece weight in sheep.

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 study analyzed the genetic variations of the KAP20-1 gene in Chinese Tan sheep lambs and found that the G variant was linked to an increased mean fibre curvature in their fine wool fibres, potentially influencing breeding strategies for this wool trait.

In this study, specific SNPs in the FST gene were significantly associated with various wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential markers for breeding programs.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.
