PIDPIG00012345

PIDPIG00012345 is a catalog identifier used within the Pig Diversity and Population Genetics (PDPG) program to tag a single porcine DNA sample. The identifier links the physical specimen to a detailed metadata record and a sequencing dataset, enabling researchers to trace provenance, processing steps, and data lineage.

Origin and provenance: The sample is derived from a domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) sourced from a commercial herd. Tissue type is ear tissue. Collection and handling followed approved animal-care guidelines, with metadata recorded at collection and stored in the project biobank.

Data and processing: The sample has undergone high-coverage whole-genome sequencing, with raw reads stored alongside a reference-aligned assembly and variant data. The record may also link to related datasets such as SNP genotyping, transcriptomic assays, or functional annotations when available.

Access and status: The PIDPIG00012345 record is maintained by the Pig Diversity and Population Genetics data management team. Data access is controlled and granted to qualified researchers under project- or data-use agreements. The record includes version history and audit logs.

Applications and significance: The identifier supports studies of population structure, breed diversity, and trait mapping in Sus scrofa. By consolidating provenance, sequencing, and derived data, PIDPIG00012345 serves as a reference point within the consortium’s genomic resources.
