Integrating proteomics revealed the key targets for molecular breeding of fine cashmere traits in cashmere goats. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
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

The Identification and Characteristics of miRNAs Related to Cashmere Fiber Traits in Skin Tissue of Cashmere Goats

Genes, 2023
microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of biological phenomena by down-regulating the expression of mRNAs. In this study, Liaoning cashmere (LC) goats (n = 6) and Ziwuling black (ZB) goats (n = 6) with different cashmere fiber production performances were selected.

Whole-Genome Selective Scans Detect Genes Associated with Cashmere Traits and Climatic Adaptation in Cashmere Goats (<i>Capra hircus</i>) in China. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background: Cashmere, valued for its exceptional softness and warmth, is a major focus in goat breeding due to its high economic importance. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cashmere production remain largely unknown, hindering efforts to optimize yield and quality.
