Genotyping dataset (medium-density SNPs) used to analyse the genetic diversity and population structure of four Senegalese sheep breeds

This dataset includes genotypes of 47 sheeps for 44,321 variants (SNPs). Animals belong to four sheep populations from Senegal. The compressed archive contains two files (in plink format): i) a genotyping data file named "sheep_44321variants_47individuals.ped" (47 rows, 88,448 columns) that contains, for each individual, six information columns (breed ID, animal ID and four columns with data coded 0 or U) and the genotypes (alleles 1 and 2) for the 44,321 SNPs (ACGT, Illumina TOP format) ; and ii) a map file named " sheep_44321variants_47individuals.map" (44,321 rows, 4 columns) that contains for each SNP, the autosome number, the SNP name, a column with data coded 0 and the SNP position on autosome (OAR3.1 assembly).
