Transcriptome profile analysis of mammary gland tissue from two breeds of lactating sheep
(MDPI, 2019-10-08)
The mammary gland is a crucial tissue for milk synthesis and plays a critical role in the feeding and growth of mammalian offspring. The aim of this study was to use RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology to provide a ...
Variation in the caprine keratin-associated protein 27-1 gene is associated with cashmere fiber diameter
(MDPI, 2020-08)
Variation in some caprine keratin-associated protein (KAP) genes has been associated with cashmere fiber traits, but many KAP genes remain unidentified in goats. In this study, we confirm the identification of a KAP27-1 ...
Identification of caprine KRTAP28‐1 and its effect on cashmere fiber diameter
(MDPI, 2020-02-01)
The keratin‐associated proteins (KAPs) are constituents of cashmere fibers and variation in many KAP genes (KRTAPs) has been found to be associated with fiber traits. The gene encoding the high‐sulphur KAP28‐1 has been ...
