    TLDR Key RNAs and genes linked to cashmere shedding in goats were identified.
    The study conducted a transcriptome analysis to identify key long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and genes associated with cashmere shedding in goats, along with their regulatory relationships. These findings offer a foundational understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in cashmere shedding, potentially aiding in the development of strategies to manage or manipulate this process in goats.
