Abstract excerpt

The wool fibre is a complex structure composed primarily of proteins from the keratin family. These proteins are responsible for the major structural and mechanical properties of the wool fibre. This study examines variation in the genes encoding key keratin (K) and keratin-associated proteins (KAP) in Merino sheep. Variation at these loci has the potential to be developed as genetic-markers associated with wool...
