Jabal Akhtar goats SNP genotypes

The objectives of the study were to identify SNPs associated with body size measurements in Jabal Akhdar Omani female goats. Seventy-two Jabal Akhdar Omani female goats were genotyped for the current study using the Illumina GoatSNP50 BeadChip, which contains 53,347 SNPs. After genotypic data filtration, the number of SNPs remaining for analysis was 46,035 SNPs belonging to 29 autosomes. Body size phenotypes used in the present study were withers height (WH), rump height (RH), Body Length (BL), Sternum height (SH), body depth (BD), Bicoastal diameter (BID), Ear Length (EL), Rump width (RW), Head width (HW), Rump Length (RL), Head Length (HL), Head Girth (HG), Cannon bone circumference (CC), Muzzle Diameter (MD), and finally the first principal component for all previous body measurements (PC1). Genome Wide Association Analysis (GWAS) of body measurements was performed using the GenABEL package in R software. A multiple testing correction approach (simpleM) was used to adjust for multipl..., , , # Jabal Akhtar goats SNP genotypes

The dataset includes the genotypes files of 72 female Jabal Akhdar Omani goats in PLINK format.

The animals were genotyped using the Illumina GoatSNP50 BeadChip and the data can be viewed and analyzed using the freely available PLINK software with the file formats being PLINK standard format. The research was carried out and funded by Sultan Qaboos University and the samples were obtained from Jabal Akhdar in Oman.
