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

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 ...

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)
