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

BMC Genomics, 2021
Abstract 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. In this study, we used the Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform to re-sequence 460 sheep belonging to four

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

Genet Sel Evol, 2017
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. Several key traits determine the value of wool and influence a sheep's susceptibility to fleece rot and fly strike. Our aim was

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)

Expression Localization of the KRT32 Gene and Its Association of Genetic Variation with Wool Traits. [PDF]

Curr Issues Mol Biol
Changes in keratin gene expression and spatiotemporal regulation determine the compositional content and cellular localization of wool keratin, thereby affecting wool traits. Therefore, keratin gene family member 32 (KRT32) was selected for a study using

Genomic Characterization of Quality Wool Traits in Spanish Merino Sheep [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
The native Spanish Merino breed was the founder of all the other Merino and Merino-derived breeds worldwide. Despite the fact that this breed was created and improved to produce the highest quality fine wool, the global wool market crisis led to the wholescale crossing of most of the herds with breeds for meat purposes.

Five SNPs Within the FGF5 Gene Significantly Affect Both Wool Traits and Growth Performance in Fine-Wool Sheep (Ovis aries). [PDF]

Front Genet, 2021
Fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) gene, a member of fibroblast growth factor superfamily, plays significant roles in the regulation of the hair growth cycle during the development of mammalian hair follicles as well as the skeletal muscle development. In

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

Animals (Basel)
Simple Summary The curliness of the white wool in Chinese Tan sheep gradually diminishes as the sheep age, but our knowledge of what underpins this change is still limited.
