Lambskin quality is an economically important trait in Hu sheep (Ovis aries), with wool-pattern characteristics contributing substantially to commercial value. However, the genetic basis of lambskin variation remains incompletely understood. This study evaluated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four candidate...

Hu sheep are a well-known Chinese dual-purpose breed valued for meat production, early sexual maturity, high prolificacy, and adaptability to hot, humid environments. In this study, we combined whole-genome sequencing, GWAS, and eQTL analyses to investigate the genetic basis of growth and slaughter traits in 420 ei...

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...
