存在的机会，利用我们的知识，影响经济上重要的性状在羊毛羊的主要基因。目前已鉴定出许多重要性状的基因具有孟德尔遗传规律。特别重要的是影响色素沉着，羊毛质量和角蛋白的基因，后者对羊毛纤维的形态很重要。基因定位研究已经确定了一些与羊毛质量和生产性状变异相关的染色体区域。现在的挑战是以具有成本效益的方式建立在这一知识基础上，提供分子工具，促进羊毛羊的遗传改良计划。
The opportunity exists to utilise our knowledge of major genes that influence the economically important traits in wool sheep. Genes with Mendelian inheritance have been identified for many important traits in wool sheep. Of particular importance are genes influencing pigmentation, wool quality and the keratin proteins, the latter of which are important for the morphology of the wool fibre. Gene mapping studies have identified some chromosomal regions associated with variation in wool quality and production traits. The challenge now is to build on this knowledge base in a cost-effective way to deliver molecular tools that facilitate enhanced genetic improvement programs for wool sheep.
