A Transcriptomic Study of the Tail Fat Deposition in Two Types of Hulun Buir Sheep According to Tail Size and Sex

Hulun Buir sheep of similar genetic background were divided into two lines based on tail types: Small- and big fat-tailed. To explore the molecular mechanism of fat deposition in sheep tails, we firstly evaluated the morphology and transcription level differences of tail fat between these two lines....
