dc.description.abstractDomestic sheep (Ovis aries) have been a part of people’s lives for millennia and are still globally kept as farm animals for their relatively easy keeping and multipurpose utilisation. Unfortunately, due to the increasing challenge in sheep farming, sheep populations are declining globally. In Hungary sheep keeping has a long history and traditional value. Hungary’s most well-known indigenous sheep breed is the Hortobágy Racka sheep. The utilization of Racka sheep for this study was motivated not only by their significance but primarily by the knowledge gaps resulting from the scarcity of research on coat colour genes in these animals. Genes that are related to the regulation of coat colour formation have been studied for many years now, therefore literature on these genes exist, even for some sheep breeds. However, it should be noted that there are a lot of sheep breeds globally, which mean a lot of genetic variations, therefore there is no guarantee that the regulation of wool colour works uniformly among all breeds. Therefore, to broaden our understanding on the genetic architecture of sheep coat colour formation, this present study focuses on identifying genes related to the coat colour formation process in Hortobágy Racka sheep, through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis.
