Angus Sequence Data: Whole Genome for Bovine Germplasm 44542

420 total sequence reads from paired-end sequencing of a single Angus beef cattle (Bos taurus) genome. The data is in FASTQ format and is associated with repository number 44542 from the National Animal Germplasm Program. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Assemble a reference genome for Angus cattle based on the provided paired-end reads.
• Conduct variant calling or SNP discovery for bovine genetics research.
• Benchmark genome assembly or sequencing analysis pipelines using real agricultural data.
• Study genetic diversity within a specific germplasm repository sample.

Strengths

• Data is from a defined germplasm repository (number 44542), providing traceability.
• Uses paired-end sequencing, which can improve read alignment and assembly accuracy.
• Contains 420 total reads from 210 data lines, as explicitly stated.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single animal, reducing generalizability.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, requiring inspection after download.
• Row count for the underlying sequence data is unknown.
