50K SNP genotypes of Cameroon Blackbelly and Barbados Blackbelly sheep

This dataset includes sheep samples of the following breeds: Cameroon
Blackbelly, Barbados Blackbelly and Beale Park. Collection of samples from
Cameroon Blackbelly sheep from different geographical localities in
Cameroon for genomic analysis, was approved by the Roslin Institute,
University of Edinburgh Animal Work Abroad Ethical Review Committee
(RI-AWA-14). Sample collection was performed under veterinary supervision
and the study as a whole was compliant with the requirements of the Nagoya
protocol. The work was performed under a collaboration agreement
(ROSLIN1929) between the University of Edinburgh and the University of
Dschang and the samples were exported according to export permit 00696
from MINEPIA, authorising exportation of products of animal origin from
Cameroon. The Barbados Blackbelly samples from Guadeloupe were collected
by INRAE, under the supervision of the local INRAE ethics committee. The
Cameroon Blackbelly and Beale Park sheep were genotyped using the Illumina
OvineSNP50 BeadChip (version 1) at the Clinical Research Facility at the
University of Edinburgh (UK). The Barbados Blackbelly samples from
Guadeloupe were genotyped by Neogen (UK) on the Illumina OvineSNP50
BeadChip (version 3).
