Simulation data based on Angus cattle genotypes

Simulated genotypes and phenotypes for 5,000 cattle as the progeny of 948 Aberdeen Angus beef cattle that were genotyped with the Illumina 777K BovineHD BeadChip. Each zip file contains the data for one replicate of the simulation under two different scenarios (common or rare QTL), where for each scenario there are 6 data files: 3 PLINK binary format SNP files (.bed, .bim, .fam), a QTL info file (columns are QTL ID, QTL effect and QTL allele frequency), a phenotype file for the 4,000 training individuals, and a file for the true genetic values of the 1,000 testing individuals. Note that the .fam files are the same across simulation replicates. Since duplicated files are now allowed in this database, only one .fam file is present but it can be used to read in the genotype data with PLINK for other simulation replicates by simply changing the rep ID in the filename.
