The Raeini Cashmere goat, native to Kerman Province, Iran, is renowned for its high-quality cashmere fiber, a luxury natural fiber valued for its softness, warmth, and lightweight properties in the textile industry. This breed, adapted to the region's arid climate through long-term natural and artificial selection, supports the local agricultural economy through cashmere, meat, and milk production. This study presents the first whole-genome resequencing dataset for the Raeini Cashmere goat, providing a valuable resource for ecological, evolutionary, and population genomic studies.
Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of ten individual Raeini Cashmere goats and sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 2500 platform. The dataset, deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (accession PRJNA1090775), enables future research into genetic adaptations for cashmere production and environmental resilience, supporting breeding programs and comparative genomics.
原产于伊朗克尔曼省的拉伊尼绒山羊以其优质羊绒纤维而闻名,这种奢华的天然纤维在纺织工业中因其柔软、保暖和轻质特性而备受珍视。该品种通过长期的自然和人工选择适应了该地区的干旱气候,通过羊绒、肉类和奶类生产支撑着当地农业经济。本研究展示了首个拉伊尼绒山羊全基因组重测序数据集,为生态、进化和群体基因组学研究提供了宝贵资源。
从10只拉伊尼绒山羊个体的血液样本中提取基因组DNA,并使用Illumina NovaSeq 2500平台进行测序。该数据集存于NCBI序列读取存档库(登录号PRJNA1090775),有助于未来对羊绒生产的遗传适应性和环境适应能力的研究,支持育种计划和比较基因组学研究。
