Transcriptomic Study of Spermatogenesis in the Testis of Hu Sheep and Tibetan Sheep
Genes, 2022 Numerous genes involved in male reproduction regulate testis development and spermatogenesis. In this study, the testis tissue transcriptome was used to identify candidate genes and key pathways associated with fecundity in sheep. Histological analysis of testis tissue using hematoxylin–eosin (HE) routine staining was performed for two sheep breeds ...

Characteristics of the BMP7 Promoter in Hu Sheep [PDF]
Animals, 2019 The BMP7 gene is involved in the growth and development of hair follicles but its regulation mechanism is unclear. We studied the regulation mechanism of the BMP7 promoter by cloning the proximal promoter of BMP7 for bioinformatics analysis. A series of missing vectors was then constructed for dual-fluorescein activity detection based on the ...

Runs of Homozygosity Revealed Reproductive Traits of Hu Sheep
Genes, 2022 Hu sheep, a famous breed in the Taihu Basin, has the advantages of non-seasonal estrus, multiple fetuses, coarse feeding tolerance, and suitability for house feeding. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) were found to be an effective tool to detect the animal population structure and economic traits.

Genetic polymorphism association analysis of SNPs on the species conservation genes of Tan sheep and Hu sheep [PDF]
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2020 AbstractFor further understanding the genetic control mechanisms of growth and development in Tan sheep, and culturing good traits on meat performance, which is very important to both in developing local species and improving economic efficaciously. In our study, we recruited a total of 250 Tan sheep and 174 healthy Hu sheep to detect 32 SNPs in GH ...
