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.

Metatranscriptomics of the Hu sheep rumen microbiome reveals novel cellulases [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Cellulosic biomass has great potential as a renewable biofuel resource. Robust, high-performance enzymes are needed to effectively utilize this valuable resource. In this study, metatranscriptomics was used to explore the carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), especially glycoside hydrolases (GHs), present in the rumen microbiome of Hu sheep.
