Screening of Protein Related to Wool Development and Fineness in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Fiber fineness is a critical determinant of wool quality and is of great significance in enhancing the overall quality of wool. The aim of this research was to pinpoint the key proteins that participate in the regulation of wool fineness. To achieve this, we utilized Astral—DIA proteomics technology to examine the disparities in proteins, pathways, and

Screened of long non-coding RNA related to wool development and fineness in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep. [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Wool growth and fineness regulation is influenced by some factors such as genetics and environment. At the same time, lncRNA participates in numerous biological processes in animal production. In this research, we conducted a thorough analysis and characterization of the microstructure of wool, along with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), their target ...

Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Selection Signal Related to Sheep Wool Fineness. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2023
Wool fineness affects the quality of wool, and some studies have identified about forty candidate genes that affect sheep wool fineness, but these genes often reveal only a certain proportion of the variation in wool thickness.

Transcriptome analysis reveals genes associated with wool fineness in merinos. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Hair/wool usually plays an important role in maintaining animal physiological activities, and the economic value of wool cannot be ignored. At present, people set higher demands on wool fineness. Hence, improving wool fineness is the concern of fine wool sheep breeding.

Whole-genome re-sequencing association study on yearling wool traits in Chinese fine-wool sheep [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2021
AbstractTo investigate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci associated with yearling wool traits of fine-wool sheep for optimizing marker-assisted selection and dissection of the genetic architecture of wool traits, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on the fixed and random model circulating probability unification (FarmCPU)

Evaluation of the fineness of degummed bast fibers [PDF]

, 2004
Fiber fineness characteristics are important for yarn production and quality. In this paper, degummed bast fibers such as hemp, flax and ramie have been examined with the Optical Fiber Diameter Analyzer (OFDA100 and OFDA2000) systems for fiber fineness ...

Genetic parameters for yearling wool production, wool quality and bodyweight traits in fine wool Merino sheep [PDF]

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2008
Genetic parameters were estimated for traits measured in the first year of production in a multi-bloodline flock of fine wool Merino sheep. Between 5025 and 9271 animals were measured, depending on the trait, and these animals were the progeny of up to 430 sires.

A Search for Fine Wool [PDF]

Nature, 1919
MR. LYDEKKER in his monograph on “Wild Oxen, Sheep, and Goats,” published in 1898, stated that the ancestral stock of sheep is not only extinct, “but totally unknown.” But in a book on sheep published in 1912 Lydekker admitted that the mouflon and urial had probably contributed to the making of domestic breeds.
