STAT3 Partly Inhibits Cell Proliferation via Direct Negative Regulation of FST Gene Expression
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Follistatin (FST) is a secretory glycoprotein and belongs to the TGF-β superfamily. Previously, we found that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of sheep FST gene were significantly associated with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep ...

Polymorphisms of FST gene and their association with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Follistatin (FST) is involved in hair follicle morphogenesis. However, its effects on hair traits are not clear. This study was designed to investigate the effects of FST gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on wool quality traits in Chinese Merino

Gene expression in sheep skin and wool (hair)
Genomics, 2004 We sequenced 2939 ESTs from fetal and adult sheep skin. Stages of gestation were picked to coincide with the major events in skin appendage (wool follicle) formation. Clustering analysis generated a nonredundant set of ESTs 2435 strong (83% nonredundant).

Strategic vaccination of hair sheep against Haemonchus contortus
Parasitology Research, 2019 In this study, we evaluated in two trials a protocol designed to protect hair sheep using Barbervax®, a vaccine containing Haemonchus contortus gut membrane glycoprotein antigens. Results indicated that naturally infected vaccinated sheep had significant egg count reductions (90.2 ± 4.03%) compared with controls, although blood parameters remained ...

Genetic variability of the Brazilian hair sheep breeds [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2005 The objectives of this work were to investigate the genetic structure of the Brazilian hair sheep breeds and to determine the origin of the Santa Inês breed. Molecular similarity was determined using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA - Polymerase Chain Reaction markers in 238 individuals from five naturalized sheep breeds: Santa Inês (48 animals ...

Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are the structural proteins of hair fibers and are thought to play an important role in determining the physical properties of hair fibers.

Biopower and an ecology of genes : seeing livestock as meat via genetics [PDF]
, 2015 This book chapter focuses on some of the implications of what has been represented as a radical change in livestock breeding for thinking about meat in relation to living farm animals: the use of genetic techniques in selecting breeding animals.

Predictive biometrics of hair sheep through digital imaging
Veterinaria México OA, 2023 Direct collection of biometric measurements (BM) from sheep is an expensive and stressful procedure for animals; instead, indirect and novel methods have recently been used. The objective of this study was to use digital image analysis (DIA) to predict biometric measurements of Pelibuey sheep as a non-invasive approach under on-farm conditions. Withers
