Screened of long non-coding RNA related to wool development and fineness in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep by Zhaohua He, Fangfang Zhao, Hongxian Sun, Jiang Hu, Jiqing Wang, Xiu Liu, Mingna Li, Zhiyun Hao, Zhidong Zhao, Bingang Shi, Feiyan Liu, Shaobin Li

“…The investigation utilized scanning electron microscopy and transcriptomic technology, focusing on two distinct types in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep: coarse type (group C, MFD = 22.26 ± 0.69 μm, n = 6) and fine type (group F, MFD = 16.91 ± 0.29 μm, n = 6), which exhibit differing wool fiber diameters. The results showed that fine type wool fiber scales were more regularly distributed in rings with large scale spacing and smooth edges, while coarse type wool fiber scales were more irregularly arranged in tiles with relatively rougher edges, and the density of wool scales was greater than that of fine type wool. …”
