Abstract Objective: The data provided herein represent the whole-genome resequencing data related to three wolves and three Iranian local dogs. The understanding of genome evolution during animal domestication is an interesting sub‑ ject in genome biology. Dog is an excellent model for understanding of domestication due to its considerable variety of behavioral and physical traits. The Zagros area of current day Iran has been identified as one of the initial centers of animal domestication. The availability of the complete genome sequences of Iranian local canids can be a valuable resource for researchers to address questions and testing hypotheses on the dog domestication process. Data description: We collected blood samples from six Iranian local canids including two hunting dogs (Saluki breed), a mastiff dog (Qahderijani ecotype) and three wolves. We extracted genomic DNA from blood samples. Sequence data were produced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system. All sequence data are available in the National Genomics Data Center (NGDC), Genome Sequence Archive (GSA) database under the accession of CRA001324 and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under the accession of PRJNA639312. The short-read sequences with the mean depth of 16X were aligned to the dog reference genome (CanFam3.1) and achieved 99% coverage of the reference assembly. The obtained information from this experiment will be useful in evolutionary biology. Keywords: Whole-genome resequencing, Canid, Iran Objective Dogs (Canis familiaris) were probably the earliest domesticated animals and one of the human companions in ancient times [1, 2]. Archaeological findings and genetic research indicated that the dog breeds have derived from wild wolves [3–5]. In the Southwest Asia, major–scale farming extended within the so-named Fertile Crescent (FC), where the independent domestication of plants and animals occurred [6, 7]. Extensively, cultural advances occurred in the Zagros area of current day Iraq and Iran, connecting Iranian plateau and Mesopotamia *Correspondence: [email protected] 1 Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, PB 76169‑133 Kerman, Iran Full list of author information is available at the end of the article
[8]. Dogs had been pictured frequently in Southwest Asia [1, 9]. Consequently, one of the notable viewpoints on the primary location of the dog domestication has been the Southwest Asia, likely the Middle East [1]. Moreover, the Middle East has been included in the considerable allelic distribution between dog breeds and wolf [10]; however, this presumption has been queried because of dog-wolf hybridization as stated in previous studies [11–13]. The dog is a considerable example of phenotypic variation under artificial selection and demographic forces, but gen
