MicroRNA expression profiles reveal wool development and fineness regulation in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep

Genomics
The development of wool has a complex regulatory mechanism both influenced by genetic and environmental factors. MicroRNAs (miRNA) were involved in various biological processes of animals, and may play an important role in the regulation of wool development.

Proteomic Analysis of Crimped and Straight Wool in Chinese Tan Sheep. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Crimped wool in Tan sheep gradually transitions to straight wool after 35 days (the er-mao stage), which reduces its commercial value. To investigate the changes in wool proteins during this stage, we performed comparative proteomic analysis of the ...
