The objective was to identify and predict the location of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to fiber growth. The study was carried out with 31 keratin genes (KRT9, KRT12, KRT13, KRT14, KRT16, KRT18, KRT20, KRT25, KRT1, KRT3, KRT5, KRT6a, KRT6b, KRT6c, KRT7, KRT8, KRT71, KRT80, KRT31, KRT32, KIRT40, KRT81, KRT82, KRT10, KRT15, KRT17, KRT19, KRT2, KRT4, KRT79 y KRT83) associated with wool, fiber and hair characteristics in sheep, goat and human, respectively. These gene sequences were retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. Using databases and bioinformatics tools such as the Conserved Domains database, Spling and Megablast, unique sequences for each gene were identified. These sequences were compared to the reference genomes: Vicugna_pacos-2.0.2 and Vi_pacos_V1.0 to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In this man...
