Variation in the Caprine KAP24-1 Gene Affects Cashmere Fibre Diameter

SIMPLE SUMMARY: The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of cashmere fibres. The human and sheep orthologous gene encoding high-sulphur (HS)-KAP24-1 is now described for the goat species. Our study identified the caprine KAP24-1 gene on goat chromosome 1, and we found that th...
