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

open access: yesBMC 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

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

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.

Label-free proteomics to identify keratins and keratin-associated proteins and their effects on the fleece traits of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2023
Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat fleece is derived from a heterogeneous coat. The guard hair is produced by primary hair follicles, and the down hair is produced by secondary hair follicles.

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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

Melatonin regulates the periodic growth of secondary hair follicles through the nuclear receptor RORα

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Cashmere is the fine bottom hair produced by the secondary hair follicles of the skin. This hair is economically important. Previous studies by our research group have shown that exogenous melatonin (MT) can regulate the periodic growth of secondary hair
