Gene network analysis reveals candidate genes related with the hair follicle development in sheep

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Merino sheep are the most famous fine wool sheep in the world. They have high wool production and excellent wool quality and have attracted worldwide attention. The fleece of the Merino sheep is composed predominantly of wool fibers grown from

Comprehensive transcriptome and methylome analysis delineates the biological basis of hair follicle development and wool-related traits in Merino sheep

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Characterization of the molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle development is of paramount importance in the genetic improvement of wool-related traits in sheep and skin-related traits in humans.

Creating a high-quality wool-oriented Turkish merino herd and investigation of mechanical and dyeability properties of fabrics produced from Turkish merino in comparison with Australian merino

, 2023
Today, the need for quality wool suitable for worsted fabric production in the world is mainly met by Australian merino wool. In Turkey, which has a significant sheep population, in addition to domestic breeds, approximately 10% of the total sheep ...

Characterization of Melanocytes in Wool-bearing Skin of Merino Sheep [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1985
The distribution and character of melanocytes in the wool-bearing skin of Merino sheep of known genotypes were examined by light and electron microscopy. In black Merino sheep (ww, homozygous recessive), melanocytes were localized within three regions of the skin: epidermal-dermal border, outer root sheath and follicle bulb.

Producing Higher Value Wool through a Transition from Romney to Merino Crossbred: Constraining Sheep Feed Demand

Agriculture, 2021
A strategy to increase wool income for coarse wool (fibre diameter > 30 µm) producers through a transition to higher value medium wool (fibre diameter between 25 and 29 µm) was identified, with previous analyses allowing sheep feed demand increases to ...

A conditional multi-trait sequence GWAS discovers pleiotropic candidate genes and variants for sheep wool, skin wrinkle and breech cover traits

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background Imputation to whole-genome sequence is now possible in large sheep populations. It is therefore of interest to use this data in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate putative causal variants and genes that underpin economically
