Identification and expression of the target gene slc24a2 of oar-mir-377 and its novel snps effects on wool traits in sheep by Huaqian ZHOU, Hua YANG, Wenhua FAN, Hanyulu YANG, Zongsheng ZHAO, Qian YU, Yonglin YANG, Wenzhe ZHANG

“…A SNP (276T>C) of oar-miR-377 upstream sequences was identified and extremely significant associated with the coefficient of variation of wool fiber diameter in Chinese Merino sheep (P<0.01). These results suggest that oar-miR-377 promotes secondary hair follicle development by downregulation of SLC24A2 gene expression, and its SNP might be a useful marker for wool quality.…”
