LncRNAs regulate the cyclic growth and development of hair follicles in Dorper sheep. [PDF]
Front Vet Sci, 2023 IntroductionHair follicles in Dorper sheep are characterized by seasonal cyclic growth and development, consequently resulting in hair shedding during spring. The cyclic growth and development of hair follicles are regulated by several influencing factors such as photoperiods, hormones, age of the animal, genes, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and ...
