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

J Anim Sci, 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)

Genome-wide association studies detects candidate genes for wool traits by re-sequencing in Chinese fine-wool sheep [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep. Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep.

Multiple-trait QTL mapping and genomic prediction for wool traits in sheep [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background The application of genomic selection to sheep breeding could lead to substantial increases in profitability of wool production due to the availability of accurate breeding values from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data.

Polymorphism Analysis of NOTCH2 and CD1A Genes and Their Association with Wool Traits in Subo Merino Sheep [PDF]

Biology
To identify molecular markers associated with wool traits in fine-wool sheep, we examined genetic polymorphisms in the NOTCH2 and CD1A genes in 944 Subo Merino sheep in this study. Subsequently, we performed association analyses between mutation sites in

Characterisation of Ovine KRTAP19-3 and Its Impact on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep [PDF]

Animals
Wool, a natural fibre derived from sheep, can present a challenge to wool processing and manufacturing industries because of the variation in fibre traits.

Genetic Polymorphism Reveals FAT3 Gene Associations with Wool Traits in Subo Merino Sheep [PDF]

Animals
In this study, 944 Subo Merino sheep, a high-quality fine wool breed, were selected as research subjects. The SNP typing of the FAT3 gene was performed using the Fluidigm BiomarkTM HD system, and 11 missense mutation sites were identified.

Merino sheep: a further look at quantitative trait loci for wool production

Animal, 2010
A quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of wool traits from experimental half-sib data of Merino sheep is presented. A total of 617 animals distributed in 10 families were genotyped for 36 microsatellite markers on four ovine chromosomes OAR1, OAR3 ...

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

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

Selective Sweeps Uncovering the Genetic Basis of Horn and Adaptability Traits on Fine-Wool Sheep in China

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Long-term natural and artificial selection leads to change in certain regions of the genome, resulting in selection signatures that can reveal genes associated with selected traits, such as horns (i.e., polled/horned), high-quality wool traits, and high ...
