Relationships between cashmere production and other important economic traits of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that cashmere production (CP) is related to fibre length (FL), mean fibre diameter (MFD) and live body weight (LWT) in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats (IMCGs).

Convergent Genomic Signatures of Cashmere Traits: Evidence for Natural and Artificial Selection. [PDF]
Convergent evolution provides powerful opportunities to investigate the genetic basis of complex traits. The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) and Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) belong to different subfamilies in Bovidae, but both have evolved similar superfine cashmere characteristics to meet the cold temperature in plateau environments.

Genome‐wide association study of fleece traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats [PDF]
SummaryInner Mongolia Cashmere goat is a well‐known local cashmere goat breed in China. It is famous for excellent fleece quality and a significant advantage in cashmere yield compared to other cashmere goat breeds. In this study, a genome‐wide association study was used to investigate fiber length, fiber diameter, and cashmere yield of 192 Inner ...
