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

Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Selection Signal Related to Sheep Wool Fineness
Animals, 2023 Wool fineness affects the quality of wool, and some studies have identified about forty candidate genes that affect sheep wool fineness, but these genes often reveal only a certain proportion of the variation in wool thickness.

Genetic parameters for yearling wool production, wool quality and bodyweight traits in fine wool Merino sheep [PDF]
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2008 Genetic parameters were estimated for traits measured in the first year of production in a multi-bloodline flock of fine wool Merino sheep. Between 5025 and 9271 animals were measured, depending on the trait, and these animals were the progeny of up to 430 sires.

SELECTION INDEX FOR WOOL IMPROVEMENT IN BARKI SHEEP [PDF]
Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2016 The present study was carried out to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for some subjective and objective wool traits to develop a suitable selection index for wool improvement in Barki sheep. Over 937 fleeces were obtained from three Barki sheep
