| Summary: | Objectives: Black Bengal goat (Capra hircus), a member of the Bovidae family with the unique traits of high pro-
lificacy, skin quality and low demand for food is the most socioeconomically significant goat breed in Bangladesh.
Furthermore, the aptitude of adaptation and disease resistance capacity of it is highly notable which makes its whole
genome information an area of research interest.
Data description: The genomic DNA of a local (Chattogram, Bangladesh) healthy male Black Bengal goat (Capra
hircus) was extracted and then sequenced. Sequencing was completed using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing
platform and the draft assembly was generated using the “ARS1” genome as the reference. MAKER gene annotation
pipeline was utilized to annotate 26,458 gene models. Genome completeness was assessed using BUSCO (Bench-
marking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs) which showed 82.5% completeness of the assembled genome.
