The research was carried out in 2021 to determine the specific quality properties of local Mongolian breeds cashmere goats. covered 122 herder households from 13 soums 8 aimags. A total 4,560 samples were collected 1,522 goats representing main factors determining quality: ecological habitat, various herd management practices, breeds, age and sex goats, colour. Cashmere fibre diameter (FD), cur...

Fiber diameter, a quantitative trait, is controlled by minor effect polygenes. Keratin-associated proteins (KRTAPs) are an important part of hair, and their rich polymorphisms facilitate the mining cashmere trait molecular markers. In this study, Jiangnan Tibetan goats were taken as research object; multiplex PCR exome sequencing technology used to identify exon regional KRTAP15-1, KRTAP13.1, K...
