The whole genome re sequencing of Chinese indigenous dog. Re-sequencing of Chinese dog

Background:Domestic dog is the most popular pet in the world and becoming wildly used as a model animal in medical research. China is one of the place where dog first become domestic, and suppose to preserve a great deal of genetic diversity. Currently there is a lack of sequencing data of Chinese indigenous dog.Findings: This work presents a set of whole genome resequencing data from XXX dogs consisted of the Chinese country dog and a local breed known as Shaanxi thin dog. The sequencing depth of an average of 20-30X for each sample was finally generated. After alignments and variation calling, *** SNPs and *** small indels was uncovered. Besides the genomic data, we also supplied the corresponding phenotypical trait, such as weight, height and breed.Conclusion: The data described here will help reveal some mystery concerning the domestication process of dog, especially the Chinese indigenous dog. This data also enriches the population genetic statistic of dog, thus providing a useful resource for in-depth analysis in dog related study.
