Polymorphism of Keratin Gene <i>KRT71</i> and Its Relationship with Wool Properties in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep

Keratin plays a crucial role in wool formation. Conducting polymorphism studies on key keratin genes is helpful in identifying key SNP sites that might influence wool traits. In this research, kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) genotyping and protein immunofluorescence techniques were used to ex...
