Abstract excerpt
The Tibetan cashmere goat is a precious breed in China and its cashmere is widely used in clothing and textiles. The genes IGF-1, FGF5, and KAP 1.4 have been shown to be crucial regulators of cashmere growth. In this study, we examined mRNA expression levels of these three genes and detected IGF-1, FGF5, and KAP 1.4 SNP loci in the Tibetan cashmere goat. After amplification and sequence alignment of the genes...
