Capra hircus strain:Yunnan Black goat Genome sequencing and assembly

The domestic goat is one of the most important livestock species in the world, especially in China, India and other developing countries. Goats not only serve as an important source of meat, milk, fiber and pelts, and have fulfilled agricultural, economic, cultural and even religious roles from very early times in human civilization, but also are now used as animal models for biomedical research and transgene production of protein medicines. We would like to share all the genome data of goat. We hope the genome sequence of goat can provide a new resource for biological research and breeding of goat and other small ruminants.
