DNA methylation Landscape of body size variation in sheep. Ovis aries

Examination the DNA methylation statues of the main subpopulation of Chinese Mongolian sheep. A high quality methylome of Chinese Mongolian sheep was obtained, and established a list of DMRs potentially association with sheep body size Overall design: Blood DNA methylation level of main Chinese Mongolian sheep was generated by deep sequencing. Subpopulation (breed) of Chinese Mongolian sheep: UQ: Ujumqin sheep Tan: Tan sheep StH: Small-tailed-Han sheep Hu: Hu sheep本研究针对中国蒙古羊的主要亚群开展DNA甲基化状态分析。本研究获取了高质量的中国蒙古羊全基因组甲基化组，并建立了可能与羊体尺性状相关的差异甲基化区域（Differentially Methylated Regions, DMRs）候选列表。 实验设计方案：通过高通量测序获取中国蒙古羊主要亚群的血液DNA甲基化水平数据。 中国蒙古羊的亚群（品种）如下： UQ：乌珠穆沁羊（Ujumqin sheep） Tan：滩羊（Tan sheep） StH：小尾寒羊（Small-tailed-Han sheep） Hu：湖羊（Hu sheep）
