Short summary
This report provides valuable information about an interesting candidate gene underlying new genetic markers, which may be used for marker-assisted selection to improve quantity and quality of wool produced from Egyptian sheep. A part of the KAP22-1 gene was amplified, sequenced and genotyped in an Egyptian sheep population with important wool traits available for the animals for further association analysis.
