Angus Sequence Data: Whole Genome for Bovine Germplasm 45109

420 total sequence reads from paired-end whole genome sequencing of a single Angus beef cattle (Bos taurus) with repository number 45109. The data is provided by the National Animal Germplasm Program under the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was last updated in March 2026. It consists of 14 files in FASTQ format, representing forward and reverse reads for 210 data lines.

Use Cases

• Assembling a bovine reference genome based on paired-end sequencing reads.
• Conducting variant calling and population genetics studies for Angus cattle.
• Developing genomic selection models for livestock traits using raw sequence data.
• Comparing sequencing methodologies and library preparations using the provided lane and read indices.

Strengths

• Data includes 420 total reads from paired-end sequencing, providing structural information.
• Files are associated with a specific germplasm repository number (45109) for traceability.
• Sequence data is in the standard FASTQ format, widely supported by bioinformatics tools.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
