CircRNA-0100 positively regulates the differentiation of cashmere goat SHF-SCs into hair follicle lineage via sequestering miR-153-3p to heighten the KLF5 expression [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 2022 Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have stable structures, being a covalently closed loop without 5′ and 3′ free ends. They can function as “miRNA sponges” in regulating the expression of their target genes.

SNP Discovery from Transcriptome of Cashmere Goat Skin [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015 The goat Capra hircus is one of several economically important livestock in China. Advances in molecular genetics have led to the identification of several single nucleotide variation markers associated with genes affecting economic traits. Validation of single nucleotide variations in a whole-transcriptome sequencing is critical for understanding the ...

Effects of melatonin administration to cashmere goats on cashmere production and hair follicle characteristics in two consecutive cashmere growth cycles [PDF]
Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 2020 Abstract Background: Short-term melatonin treatment of cashmere goats has been shown to increase the quantity and quality of cashmere fibre. However, the long-term effects of melatonin treatment on cashmere production and hair follicle characteristics of these goats has not been reported.

Indices for the identification of biologically productive cashmere goats within farms
, 2015 Objectively comparing cashmere goats with different cashmere production, mean fibre diameter (MFD) and staple length (SL) is difficult for farmers. We aimed to develop indices to enable cashmere producers to identify productive goats within their own ...
