Screening and bioinformatics analysis of a potential ceRNA network in melatonin-induced cashmere growth in Liaoning cashmere goats [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin (MT) on the expression patterns of lncRNA, mRNA and miRNA in Liaoning cashmere goat (LCG) skin fibroblasts. A quantity of 200 ng L−1 MT (MT group) stimulated LCG skin fibroblasts for 48

Goat Genomic Resources: The Search for Genes Associated with Its Economic Traits [PDF]
Goat plays a crucial role in human livelihoods, being a major source of meat, milk, fiber, and hides, particularly under adverse climatic conditions. The goat genomics related to the candidate gene approach is now being used to recognize molecular mechanisms that have different expressions of growth, reproductive, milk, wool, and disease resistance ...

Molecular characterization and expression pattern of a novel Keratin-associated protein 11.1 gene in the Liaoning cashmere goat () [PDF]
Objective An experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between the KAP11.1 and the regulation wool fineness. Methods In previous work, we constructed a skin cDNA library and isolated a full-length cDNA clone termed KAP11.1. On this basis, we

Association analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphism in prolactin and its receptor with productive and body conformation traits in Liaoning cashmere goats [PDF]
The results of this study showed that the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites of the PRL and PRLR genes have a certain association with the milk production performance, body size and cashmere performance of Liaoning cashmere goats (LCGs).

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.
