Comparative Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlas Reveals the Genetic Regulation of Reproductive Traits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
A cross‐species single‐cell transcriptomic atlas of reproductive and central nervous system tissues from sheep and humans reveals conserved cellular programs and regulatory networks that regulated fertility. Integration with GWAS for sheep lifetime average litter size identifies UNC5–SLIT–BMP signaling as a core pathway coordinating neuroendocrine ...

A highly polymorphic caprine keratin-associated protein gene identified and its effect on cashmere traits

Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Abstract Five keratin-associated protein 6 genes (KRTAP6) have been identified in sheep and variation in some KRTAP6 has been associated with wool fiber diameter-related traits, but none of these homologues have been identified in goats.

Integrating proteomics revealed the key targets for molecular breeding of fine cashmere traits in cashmere goats

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
In this study, the molecular mechanism of superfine fiber properties of Inner Mongolia Alpas cashmere was revealed by using fiber physical properties measurement and deep proteomics technology. The results showed that the average diameter of Alpas cashmere fiber (14.13 μm) was significantly lower than that of ordinary cashmere (17.29 μm). A total of 79

Genetic Assessment of Derived Growth Curve Parameters in Sonadi Sheep Within a Breeding Flock

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study assessed genetic parameters of derived growth curve traits in Sonadi sheep within an organised breeding flock. Retrospective growth data from the Mega Sheep Seed Project (Sonadi Unit) was analysed using advanced growth curve models. Results provide essential genetic insights to enhance selection strategies, productivity, and profitability of

Genomic Inbreeding and Runs of Homozygosity Analysis of Cashmere Goat

Animals
Cashmere goats are valuable genetic resources which are famous worldwide for their high-quality fiber. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) have been identified as an efficient tool to assess inbreeding level and identify related genes under selection.

Dendroglyphs, Pictographs and Social Identity in the Wet Tropics Rainforest of Northeastern Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 119-131, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This research examines rock art and dendroglyphs in the Wet Tropics of northeast Australia to investigate their relationship to linguistic social identity. The region was selected for its complex socio‐cultural landscape, marked by a diversity of languages in a distinct, relatively small area.
