Kolbroek Pig Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly and HiFi Sequence Data

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the South African indigenous Kolbroek pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) is provided in FASTA format. The dataset includes 25.6 MB of data, containing the scaffold-level assembly and raw HiFi sequence data. Rae Smith authored this resource, which was last updated on April 23, 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the chromosome-level assembly.
• Reference genome construction for the Kolbroek pig breed.
• Variant calling and population genetics studies using the included HiFi raw sequence data.
• Phylogenetic studies of Sus scrofa subspecies.

Strengths

• Assembly is at the chromosome level, which is a high-quality standard for genomic data.
• Includes raw HiFi sequence data, providing foundational reads for validation or re-analysis.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
• Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred from the FASTA format.
