Genotyping by sequencing data of sheep

This study investigates the genomic architecture of Moghani sheep and their crossbreeds with Texel and Booroola sheep through genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). A GBS project was conducted with 65 sheep from five breeds/strains: Moghani pure sheep (M, n=9), Booroola Merino-Moghani (BMM, n=13), Booroola Romney-Moghani (BRM, n=19), Texel Dalzell-Moghani (TDM, n=11), and Texel Tamlet-Moghani (TTM, n=13). The data collection procedures for this study were reviewed and approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee at the Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute (ABRII) in Karaj, Alborz, Iran. Samples were obtained from the Jovain Agricultural & Industrial Corporation breeding facility in Razavi Khorasan, Iran.
