Two mutations at KRT74 and EDAR synergistically drive the fine-wool production in Chinese sheep

Introduction: Fine-wool sheep are the most common breed used by the wool industry worldwide. Fine-wool sheep have over a three-fold higher follicle density and a 50% smaller fiber diameter than coarse-wool sheep. Objectives: This study aims to clarify the underlying genetic basis for the denser and...
