Understanding the genetic basis of sheep tails is of great importance to improve sheep production and welfare. In this Comment, we discussed recent findings showing that () is a regulator of the tail length in sheep. The revelation of the gene adds novel insights into the genetic determinism of the sheep tail phenotype. This new genetic highlight will lead to further advances in sheep breeding using selection-based strategies and molecular genetics-based tools.
了解羊尾巴的遗传基础对于提高绵羊生产和福利具有重要意义。在本评论中，我们讨论了最近的发现，即 ()是绵羊尾巴长度的调节因子。该基因的揭示为绵羊尾巴表型的遗传决定因素提供了新的见解。这一新的遗传亮点将通过基于选择的策略和基于分子遗传学的工具进一步推动绵羊的选育。
