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 SciHomobox 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 ...

Evaluation of Crossbreeding Effects for Wool Traits in Sheep
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2006 Crossbreeding effects for wool quality traits viz. greasy fleece weight (kg), staple length (cm), average fibre diameter (μ) and medulation percentage were estimated using the Dickerson's and Kinghorn's models. The data analyzed involved 15 genetic groups including Nali purebred, F 1 's of two and three breeds, F 2 's and reciprocal crossbred obtained ...
