Screening of Protein Related to Wool Development and Fineness in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep [PDF]

Animals
Fiber fineness is a critical determinant of wool quality and is of great significance in enhancing the overall quality of wool. The aim of this research was to pinpoint the key proteins that participate in the regulation of wool fineness. To achieve this,

Two mutations at KRT74 and EDAR synergistically drive the fine-wool production in Chinese sheep [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Research
Introduction: Fine-wool sheep are the most common breed used by the wool industry worldwide. Fine-wool sheep have over a three-fold higher follicle density and a 50% smaller fiber diameter than coarse-wool sheep.

Genome-wide association studies detects candidate genes for wool traits by re-sequencing in Chinese fine-wool sheep [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep. Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep.

Characterization of the bacterial microbiota across the different intestinal segments of the Qinghai semi-fine wool sheep on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Animal Bioscience, 2021
Objective The intestinal microbiota enhances nutrient absorption in the host and thus promotes heath. Qinghai semi-fine wool sheep is an important livestock raised in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau; however, little is known about the bacterial microbiota of

Rumen Development of Tianhua Mutton Sheep Was Better than That of Gansu Alpine Fine Wool Sheep under Grazing Conditions [PDF]

Animals
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the differences in rumen tissue morphology, volatile fatty acid content, and rumen microflora between Tianhua mutton sheep and Gansu alpine fine wool sheep under the same grazing conditions. Twelve 30-day-

Screening of circRNAs Associated with Secondary Wool Follicle Development in Fine-Wool Sheep and Construction of Their ceRNA Network [PDF]

Animals
Various signalling molecules and pathways critical for wool production and quality regulate wool secondary follicle (SF) development. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) regulate SF morphogenesis through a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism; these novel ...

Whole-genome re-sequencing association study on yearling wool traits in Chinese fine-wool sheep. [PDF]

J Anim Sci, 2021
AbstractTo investigate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci associated with yearling wool traits of fine-wool sheep for optimizing marker-assisted selection and dissection of the genetic architecture of wool traits, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on the fixed and random model circulating probability unification (FarmCPU)
