ITGB2 Genotypes from WGS Reads for the USMARC Beef Cattle Diversity Panel

Extended Data Table S2 contains manually recorded ITGB2 genotypes derived from whole-genome sequencing reads mapped to the UMDv3.1 assembly. The data is part of the USMARC Beef Cattle Diversity Panel version 2.9 and was authored by Aspen M. Workman. The dataset is available under an Open Access (green) license.

Use Cases

• Assessing genetic diversity of the ITGB2 gene in beef cattle based on whole-genome sequencing data.
• Performing association studies between ITGB2 genotypes and phenotypic traits in cattle.
• Validating variant calling pipelines using manually curated genotype data.

Strengths

• Genotypes are manually recorded, which likely indicates a high level of curation.
• Data is derived from whole-genome sequencing, providing a high-resolution genetic view.
• Part of a named diversity panel (USMARC Beef Cattle Diversity Panel v2.9), suggesting a structured population sample.

Limitations

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