Whole genome resequencing data of the Iranian cashmere goat breed

Abstract Objective 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-ter...

description Abstract Objective 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. Data description 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.
