Angus Sequence Data: Whole Genome for Bovine Animal 29451

420 total sequence reads from paired-end whole genome sequencing of a single Angus beef cattle (Bos taurus) with repository number 29451. The data is provided by the USDA's National Animal Germplasm Program in 14 compressed FASTQ files. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assemble a reference genome for an Angus individual based on the paired-end whole genome sequence data.
• Conduct variant calling and population genetics studies based on the raw sequencing reads.
• Benchmark sequencing analysis pipelines using the provided FASTQ format files.
• Support germplasm conservation research by linking genetic data to a specific animal repository number.

Strengths

• Data includes 420 total reads from paired-end sequencing, providing complementary forward and reverse strands.
• Files are in the standard FASTQ.gz format, which is widely supported by bioinformatics tools.
• Linked to a specific animal (29451) within the National Animal Germplasm Program repository.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and sequencing depth require manual inspection after download.
• Row count and sequencing coverage metrics are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; file naming conventions and lane/sample details must be inferred.
