Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Wool is the critical textile raw material which is produced by the hair follicle of sheep. Therefore, it has important implications to investigate the molecular mechanism governing hair follicle development.

Genomic Diversity of U.S. Katahdin Hair Sheep. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACTIn the late 1950s, Katahdin hair sheep were developed as a composite breed of medium size and moderate prolificacy, with potential to express resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes. With increasing popularity and the recent adoption of genomic prediction in their genetic evaluation, there is a risk of decreasing variation with selection based

Sheep IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 promoter methylation regulates gene expression and hair follicle development

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Hair follicle development is important for the fineness of wool. Our previous methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing showed that IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 were differentially methylated at different development stages of the hair follicle of ...

Whole genome structural analysis of Caribbean hair sheep reveals quantitative link to West African ancestry

PLoS ONE, 2017
Hair sheep of Caribbean origin have become an important part of the U.S. sheep industry. Their lack of wool eliminates a number of health concerns and drastically reduces the cost of production.

Analysis of lncRNAs Expression Profiles in Hair Follicle of Hu Sheep Lambskin

Animals, 2020
Lambskin of the Hu sheep exhibits high economic value due to its water-wave pattern. Wool curvature is the key factor of the pattern types and quality of lambskin, and it is formed by the interaction between dermal papilla cells and hair matrix cells in ...

Hair Sheep Blood, Citrated or Defibrinated, Fulfills All Requirements of Blood Agar for Diagnostic Microbiology Laboratory Tests

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundBlood agar is used for the identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of many bacterial pathogens. In the developing world, microbiologists use human blood agar because of the high cost and inhospitable conditions for raising wool ...

'Meta-analysis of dry matter intake and neutral detergent fiber intake of hair sheep raised in tropical areas'. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Inadequate estimates of fiber and dry matter intake of sheep raised in tropical conditions may explain part of the inefficiency of those production systems. Therefore, we aimed to estimate dry matter intake (DMI) and neutral detergent fiber intake (NDFI)

Understanding the effect of sex on energy requirements of hair sheep

Animal
Differences and/or similarities in the influence of sex class for hair sheep requirements remain inconclusive. Knowledge of energy requirements allows well-formulated diets to be provided which is crucial for improving animal production.
