Angus Sequence Data: Whole Genome for Bovine Germplasm 44993

Whole genome sequence data for a single beef Angus animal (Bos taurus) from the National Animal Germplasm Program, repository number 44993. The data consists of 14 files in FASTQ format, generated from paired-end sequencing with 210 data lines and 420 total reads. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026, and is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Use Cases

• Assemble a reference genome for an Angus individual based on the provided paired-end reads.
• Conduct variant calling or population genetics studies using the whole genome sequence data.
• Benchmark sequence alignment tools using the paired-end FASTQ files.
• Study genetic diversity within cattle germplasm collections based on the sequenced sample.

Strengths

• Data is from a specific, cataloged animal (repository number 44993) within a national germplasm program.
• Paired-end sequencing provides 420 total reads from 210 data lines, offering structural context.
• Files are provided in a standard, widely supported bioinformatics format (FASTQ.gz).

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.
