Welcome to the Ovis aries Genome Resources page. The sheep genome effort will generate an important resource for gene discovery, affecting health and biology and the growing field of comparative genomics. This page offers a gateway to sheep genome resources at NCBI and beyond. We encourage your suggestions.

Sequencing the sheep genome will facilitate the identification of genes that may provide explanations for the vast range of mammalian variation and help us to better understand the genetic basis of diseases common to both human and sheep.

A WGS assembly of the Ovis aries genome has been generated by the International Sheep Genomics Consortium (ISGC).

The assembly is available in GenBank with the accession ACIV010000000.
