FGF7 Polymorphisms, Especially Chr7:57803771:C>T, Are Associated with Lambskin Traits in Hu Sheep

Lambskin quality is an economically important trait in Hu sheep (Ovis aries), with wool-pattern characteristics contributing substantially to commercial value. However, the genetic basis of lambskin variation remains incompletely understood. This study evaluated single nucleotide...

Whole‐Genome Resequencing Reveals Selection Signatures Associated With Lambskin Patterns in Hu Sheep

ABSTRACT In China, Hu sheep lambskin quality is largely determined by wool curvature, with wavy‐wool lambs producing higher‐quality pelts than straight‐wool lambs. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying wool curvature formation remain poorly understood. To address this knowle...
