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

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.

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 of wool colour and skin traits in Corriedale sheep
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003 Clean wool colour (CWC) is an important wool price determinant and has been related to suint characteristics, i.e. sudoriparous and sebaceous gland secretions, such as suint percentage and suint K content.

Genome-Wide Scan of Wool Production Traits in Akkaraman Sheep
Genes, 2023 The objective of this study was to uncover the genetic background of wool quality, a production trait, by estimating genomic heritability and implementing GWAS in Akkaraman sheep. The wool characteristics measured included fibre diameter (FD) and staple length (SL) at the age of 8 months and yearling fibre diameter (YFD), yearling staple length (YSL ...
