Donkey Whole-Genome Sequence with Variants and Annotation

A whole-genome sequencing dataset for Equus asinus (donkey) by xueyan du, last updated in April 2026. It includes a 2.55 GB reference genome assembly, SNP and indel variant calls, and a genome feature annotation file. All data is provided in standard bioinformatics formats for genomic analysis.

Use Cases

• Population genetics analysis based on genome-wide SNP and indel variant calls
• Functional annotation of genomic regions based on the provided GFF feature file
• Comparative genomics studies using the provided reference genome assembly
• Downstream genomic analysis for traits or evolution based on the variant data

Strengths

• Includes a reference genome assembly file of 2.55 GB
• Provides both SNP (973.61 MB) and indel (178.90 MB) variant calls
• Data is packaged in standard, interoperable bioinformatics formats (FASTA, VCF, GFF)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
