Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals molecular mechanisms of melatonin-regulated hair follicle growth in cashmere goats and comparative insights across goat breeds [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Cashmere goats are prized for their high-quality fibers, which are soft, fine, strong, and exhibit remarkable elasticity and luster. Cashmere growth occurs in secondary hair follicles and follows a distinct, periodic cycle. This study seeks to

Genomic Selection for Economic Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats by Integrating GWAS Prior Information. [PDF]

Vet Sci
The accuracy of genomic selection has a significant impact on the selection of superior individuals in livestock. Studies have reported that integrating GWAS information can improve the accuracy of genomic prediction. In this study, phenotypic data, systematic environmental data, and genotypic data of important economic traits (cashmere yield, cashmere

Population structure, regions of homozygosity (ROH) and selection signal of two domesitic goat breeds revealed by whole-genome resequencing [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Chinese indigenous goat breeds exhibit rich genetic diversity and a long history of domestication, endowing these native populations with superior traits in environmental adaptation, forage utilization, and disease resistance.

Estimation of Genetic Parameters of Growth Traits in the Inner Mongolia White Cashmere Goat (Erlangshan Type). [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
This study aimed to estimate the variance, heritability, and genetic correlation of growth traits in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats (Erlangshan type) (IMWCG-ER). Data collected from the Erlang Mountain Ranch in 2022–2023 were analyzed. The traits studied included birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), pre-weaning daily gain (ADG), and the 12 ...

Implementing a resilience‐based management system in Mongolia's rangelands

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract A primary challenge in advancing sustainability in rangelands and drylands is the lack of governance systems that are linked to information about highly variable ecosystem conditions. Here, we describe the national‐scale implementation of a resilience‐based management system in the rangelands of Mongolia.

Ecogroups and maternal haplogroups reveal the ancestral origin of native Chinese goat populations based on the variation of mtDNA D‐loop sequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Native Chinese goat breeds were mainly divided into three haplogroups: HapA, HapB, and HapC, originated from five, one, and two maternal ancestors, respectively, and were associated with the ecogroups. The goat populations expanded in the different ecoregions. The relative evolutionary rate of goat mtDNA D‐loop differed among the ecogroups.

Geographical contrasts of Y‐chromosomal haplogroups from wild and domestic goats reveal ancient migrations and recent introgressions

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 16, Page 4364-4380, August 2022., 2022
Abstract By their paternal transmission, Y‐chromosomal haplotypes are sensitive markers of population history and male‐mediated introgression. Previous studies identified biallelic single‐nucleotide variants in the SRY, ZFY and DDX3Y genes, which in domestic goats identified four major Y‐chromosomal haplotypes, Y1A, Y1B, Y2A and Y2B, with a marked ...
