摘要： Background: Fibre diameter is an important economic trait of wool fibre. As the fibre diameter decreases, the economic value of wool increases. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of wool fibre diameter regulation is important in improving the value of wool. Results: In this study, we used non-targeted metabolome and reference transcriptome data to detect differences in metabolites and genes in groups of Alpine Merino sheep with different wool fibre diameter gradients, and integrated metabolome and transcriptome data to identify key genes and metabolites that regulate wool fibre diameter. We found 464 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) and 901 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in four comparisons of groups with different wool fibre diameters. Approximately 25% of the differentially abundant metabolites were lipid and lipid-like molecules. These molecules were predicted to be associated with skin development and keratin filament by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses. Key genes, including COL5A2, COL5A3, CREB3L4, COL1A1, and SFRP4, were identified by gene set enrichment analysis. Conclusions: Key genes regulating wool fibre diameter were identified, the effects of lipid molecules on wool performance were investigated, and potential synergies between genes and metabolites were postulated, providing a theoretical framework for fine wool sheep breeding.
