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 ...

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

Genes
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.

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.

Genetic correlations between wool traits and meat quality traits in Merino sheep

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Genetic correlations between 29 wool production and quality traits and 25 meat quality and nutritional value traits were estimated for Merino sheep from an Information Nucleus (IN). Genetic correlations among the meat quality and nutritional value traits are also reported. The IN comprised 8 flocks linked genetically and managed across a range of sheep

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)

Genetic correlations between wool traits and carcass traits in Merino sheep [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Genetic correlations between 29 wool production and quality traits and 14 whole carcass measures and carcass component traits were estimated from the Information Nucleus of 8 flocks managed across a range of Australian sheep production environments and genetically linked.

Genetic studies on growth and production traits in German Angora Rabbits under sub-temperate climatic conditions

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022
This study aimed to assess the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors on growth, wool yield and wool characteristics of German Angora rabbit. Data was collected on 607 adult rabbits over a period of four years (2018-2021).

Polymorphisms of FST gene and their association with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Follistatin (FST) is involved in hair follicle morphogenesis. However, its effects on hair traits are not clear. This study was designed to investigate the effects of FST gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on wool quality traits in Chinese Merino
