Comparative Skin Transcriptomics Reveals Key Regulators of Cashmere Fiber Production in Inner Mongolian Goats [PDF]

Animals
Cashmere goats produce high-value fine fibers derived from secondary hair follicles; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this trait remain incompletely understood. In this study, comparative transcriptome sequencing was performed on skin tissues

Integrative Analysis of Methylation and Transcriptional Profiles to Reveal the Genetic Stability of Cashmere Traits in the Tβ4 Overexpression of Cashmere Goats [PDF]

Animals, 2019
DNA methylation alteration is frequently observed in exogenous gene silencing and may play important roles in the genetic stability of traits. Cashmere is derived from the secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats, which are morphogenetically ...

Whole-genome selection signatures identified candidate genes associated with cashmere traits in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats. [PDF]

Anim Biosci
Objective: Inner Mongolia cashmere goats are superior indigenous breeds developed through long-term natural selection and systematic artificial selection, which have experienced a certain intensity of selection pressure during the breeding process, leading to bipolar differentiation trends in cashmere traits.
