Medium density genotyping dataset of 39 cattle from five West African breeds, associated to the article "A Comparison of Phenotypic Traits Related to Trypanotolerance in Five West African Cattle Breeds Highlights the Value of Shorthorn Taurine Breeds" (Berthier et al 2015)

This dataset consists of genotypes of 39 animals belonging to five cattle breeds genotyped using the Illumina BovineSNP50 chip assay v2 [39] at the INRA Labogena platform (Jouy-en-Josas, France) using standard procedures. The animals were further infected by Trypanosoma congolense IL1180 to assess their phenotypes related to trypanotolerance (published in Berthier et al 2015 DOI: 10.1371/journal‧pone.0126498) and characterise the transcriptome of their blood cells before and after infection (see the Cirad dataverse: Whole blood transcriptome data of five West African cattle breeds before and during an infection by Trypanosoma congolense IL1180, inference on bovine trypanotolerance)
