Whole-genome sequencing of indigenous and improved chickens from African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) programme
The study consists of 147 chickens, of which 40 are indigenous unimproved chicken samples from two regions of Ethiopia and the rest (n=107) are improved ACGG strains from Ethiopia or Nigeria. The samples were sequenced on Illumina HiSeqX 10 platform with an average coverage > 30x. The samples were collected by Professor Olivier Hanotte, International Livestock Research Institute
