Genome-Wide Characterization of Heterozygosity-Rich Regions in Kazakh Native Sheep Breeds. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Heterozygosity‐rich regions (HRR) are genomic segments characterized by high heterozygosity that may arise from admixture, introgression, or balancing selection and may harbor loci associated with adaptation and fitness‐related traits. This study aimed to characterize HRR patterns in five Kazakh sheep breeds using a publicly available ...

A Relationship Between Sulphur Content of Wool and Wool Production by Merino Sheep [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1967
The sulphur content of wool from 66 Peppin Merino wethers maintained together at pasture was measured in midside staples representing 49 weeks growth. The distribution of sulphur values was normal with a mean of 3·43 % and a range of 3·08-3·92 %. The sulphur content of the wool was inversely related to wool production among these sheep.
