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

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
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

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.

Ovine KRT81 Variants and Their Influence on Selected Wool Traits of Commercial Value. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Keratins are the main structural protein components of wool fibres, and variation in them and their genes (KRTs) is thought to influence wool structure and characteristics. The PCR–single strand conformation polymorphism technique has been used previously to investigate genetic variation in selected coding and intron regions of the type II sheep ...

Spatiotemporal Expression and Haplotypes Identification of KRT84 Gene and Their Association with Wool Traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Keratin (K) is a major protein component of hair and is involved in hair growth and development. In this study, we analysed the expression, localization, and polymorphism of the K84 gene (KRT84) in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep using immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, and PARMS (penta-primer amplification refractory mutation system).

Molecular Genetic Characteristics of the Hoxc13 Gene and Association Analysis of Wool Traits. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Homobox C13 (Hoxc13) is an important transcription factor in hair follicle cycle development, and its deletion had been found in a variety of animals leading to abnormal hair growth and disruption of the hair follicle system. In this study, we used immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and ...

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 ...

Identification of SNPs and expression patterns of FZD3 gene and its effect on wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep (Xinjiang Type)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
As a member of the Frizzled family, Frizzled3 (FZD3) is a receptor of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway and plays a vital role in mammalian hair follicle developmental processes. However, its effects on wool traits are not clear. The objectives of this

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.
