Genome resequencing data for Iranian local dogs and wolves.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The data provided herein represent the whole-genome resequencing data related to three wolves and three Iranian local dogs. The understanding of genome evolution during animal domestication is an interesting subject in genome biology. Dog is an excellent model for understanding of domestication due to its considerable variety of behavioral and physical traits. The Zagros area of current day Iran has been identified as one of the initial centers of animal domestication. The availability of the complete genome sequences of Iranian local canids can be a valuable resource for researchers to address questions and testing hypotheses on the dog domestication process.

Data description

We collected blood samples from six Iranian local canids including two hunting dogs (Salu
