A Genomic Approach for Accurate Identification of Sheep and Goat Species in Next-Generation Sequencing Samples
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) using Illumina short reads for 20 sheep (Ovis aries) and 20 goats (Capra hircus) from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Using these and other public samples, we developed a methodology to distinguish between sheep and goat NGS data by leveraging specific genomic regions for each species.

The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
