Description
Kai Huang and co-authors probe why some sheep resist a lung disease in a 2026 gene study. The disease stems from Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae and cuts flock output around the world. The team compared lung tissue from healthy and sick sheep with high throughput methods that map open gene regions and gene marks.
One gene, FOXF1, stood out as a guard linked with resistance. Raising its activity in sheep lung cells cut the harm from microbe binding, while lowering it made the harm worse. Marks inside the gene may boost its use in healthy lungs. The findings add genes that breeders can weigh when selecting for hardier flocks.
