Identification of microRNAs in Wool Follicles during Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen Phases in Tibetan Sheep
17 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wool quality is one of the most important economic traits in sheep. The wool fiber is derived from specialized skin cells that are referred to as wool follicles. To understand the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in wool fiber growth, we detected the expression patterns of miRNAs in wool follicles at the anagen, catagen, and telogen stages from Tibetan sheep through Solexa sequencing. RESULTS: A total of...
