Angus Sequence Data: Whole Genome for Bovine Germplasm Repository 20587

Whole genome sequence data for Bovidae Bos taurus - beef Angus, provided by the National Animal Germplasm Program. The dataset contains paired-end sequencing reads in FASTQ format, with 420 total reads derived from 210 data lines. The data was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Assemble a reference genome for the Angus breed based on the provided paired-end reads.
• Conduct variant calling and genetic analysis for beef cattle using whole genome sequence data.
• Support germplasm repository research by linking genomic data to a specific animal repository number (20587).
• Benchmark bioinformatics pipelines for processing paired-end sequencing data in FASTQ format.

Strengths

• Data includes paired-end sequencing, providing forward and reverse reads for more accurate assembly.
• Sequence data is linked to a specific germplasm repository animal (20587) from the National Animal Germplasm Program.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-03-13).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
