The problem of heat stress (HS) in hot regions of the world is further complicated by climate
change and the ensuing global warming. Goats have been a means of sustenance for rural …

The goat (Capra hircus) is one of the first farm animals that have undergone domestication
and extensive natural and artificial selection by adapting to various environments, which in …

Since the time of their domestication, goats (Capra hircus) have evolved in a large variety of
locally adapted populations in response to different human and environmental pressures. In …

Background As one of the important livestock species around the world, goats provide
abundant meat, milk, and fiber to fulfill basic human needs. However, the genetic loci that …

This paper reports a quantitative genetics and genomic analysis of undesirable coat color
patterns in goats. Two undesirable coat colors have routinely been recorded for the past 15 …

Goat genomics has evolved at a low pace because of a lack of molecular tools and sufficient
investment. Whilst thousands and hundreds of quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been …

We investigated the involvement of agouti-signaling proteins (ASIPs) in morphological
pigmentation and physiological color change in flatfishes. We isolated ASIP1 and 2 mRNAs …

Goats have achieved global prominence as essential livestock since their initial
domestication, primarily owing to their remarkable adaptability to diverse environmental and …
