This dataset includes a total of 4 whole genome sequencing data from goats generated at Genoscope (Evry, France). It has been uploaded for the VarGoats Consortium (http://www.goatgenome.org/vargoats.html). To use this dataset please contact: gwenola.tosser@inra.fr or vargoats@inrae.fr
Identification of Variations in Goat genomes related to domestication and adaptationVarGoats is the first step of a 1000 goat genomes project and is lead by Gwenola Tosser-Klopp (INRA, France).It is supported by FRANCE GENOMIQUE through a call for Large Scale DNA Sequencing projects. This means the scientific Consortium provides DNA and gets back genome sequences, generated at Genoscope (Evry, France). TGCC (Très Grand Centre de calcul du CEA) is the bioinformatic infrastructure where sequences will be stored and available for the Consortium. The data will be made available to VarGoats participants and data analysis will be performed in working groups already created in ADAPTMAP program or if needed in new working groups. Data will be used only for academic purposes, specifically for performing population genetics studies, for the investigation of diversity, domestication and adaptation traits, the discovery of variants (SNPs, CNVs, structural variants, causal mutations), the detection of selective sweeps, with the final goal to develop breeding solutions. Hybridization between species will also be studied, thanks to the availability of sequences from various capra species. This is an early release of the data. The use of the data is under a data sharing agreement and for research purpose only.
