Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Selection Signatures Associated With Lambskin Patterns in Hu Sheep.
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 knowledge gap, we conducted whole-genome resequencing a...
