Primer Sequence Information for Maguan Hornless Goat Semen Preservation Study

Primer sequence information supporting a study on the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on chilled semen storage in the endangered Maguan hornless goat. The dataset, made available by Haoran Xu on April 21, 2026, is a 5.5 KB Excel file containing sequences likely used for analyzing antioxidant and pro-apoptotic gene expression.

Use Cases

• Designing PCR primers for gene expression analysis based on the provided sequence information.
• Replicating or extending the study's analysis of antioxidant genes (GPX4, GPX1) and pro-apoptotic genes (BAX, Caspase 3).
• Supporting bioinformatic workflows for genetic research on small ruminants mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing reuse with attribution.
• Directly supports a described experimental study on a specific endangered breed.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset's scope is limited to primer sequences for a single, specific study.
