Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The “nine-curve” crimped wool is a key economic trait of Tan sheep, which peaks at 35 days of age and disappears in adulthood. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this age-dependent trait remain unclear. This study aimed to decipher these mechanisms by analyzing the skin of Tan sheep across critical developmental stages. RESULTS: We integrated small RNA sequencing, mRNA sequencing, and...
