Overview for Capra aegagrus hircus (Goat)

The goat, Capra hircus, is one of the oldest domesticated species and has been of interest for humans for their milk, meat, hair, and skin. Due to its long history of domestication, there exist many different breeds with phenotypic variation. It is closely related to the domestic sheep (Ovis aries). The goat genome is organized in 29 autosomes and two sex chromosome, of which only the X chromosome has been analyzed. In agReg-SNPdb, we store 19,658 genes and 31,331,447 SNPs.
