Ovis aries breed:Awassi Genome sequencing and assembly. Ovis aries breed:Awassi

Although whole sheep genome sequencing is done, the need for detailed analyses of genomes of certain populations still exists. In the present project, for the first time, whole male genome of Jordanian Awassi (Ovis aries) uses the power of Hiseq\ eference{TM} sequencing technology is sequenced to provides insights into naturally occurring genetic variation, population structure, domestication, characterize the distribution of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), highlights the value of marker-trait associations and make them stronger candidates for deployment in molecular breeding and selection of genotypes that encompass the diversity of Awassi (Ovis aries).
