ALC wool type demonstrated strictly maternal inheritance of major genes at the Gtl2-miRNA locus. a Reciprocal cross hybrids between ALC and normal Merino sheep. The blue arrow indicates the primary hair follicles. The green arrow indicates secondary follicles. The scale bar is 890 μm. b The transcriptomic selection signals between ALC and MF wool lambs (Chr18: 63900001–64500000 [GCA_000298735.2 Oar_V4.0]) (Fst > 0.6). c Signals of candidate region calculated by FST. d The candidate region for ALC wool in Merino lambs located in the imprinted gene cluster (Dlk1-Gtl2 locus)
