Breed Composition and Genomic Heterozygosity in Brangus and Braford Composite Cattle

This repository contains genotype datasets corresponding to Argentine populations of the composite cattle breeds Brangus and Braford used in the present study. Included files 1. braford and brangus.zipCompressed VCF file containing the combined genotype data from the Argentine Brangus and Braford populations. 2. for shapeit_braford.zipCompressed VCF file corresponding to the Argentine Braford population, prepared for haplotype phasing analyses using the SHAPEIT software. 3. for shapeit_brangus.zipCompressed VCF file corresponding to the Argentine Brangus population, prepared for haplotype phasing analyses using the SHAPEIT software. Access to raw genotype data requires a formal request to the corresponding author and authorization according to institutional data-sharing policies involving the Brangus and Braford breed associations.
