SheepVar

Welcome to the Sheep Variantion Database

SheepVar is a comprehensive sheep variation database containing ~83M SNPs and ~7M Indels from 1,116 samples across seven wild sheep relatives and 135 domestic breeds. It primarily supports variant search, selection signal analysis, and genotype imputation. We hope this extensive genetic variation catalog serves as a benchmark for ovine variants and facilitates sheep breeding research.
