The first genome sequence of domestic goat has been completed by integrating next-generation sequencing (NGS) and whole-genome mapping (WGM) technologies. The goat genome is the first reference genome for small ruminant animals and may help to advance the understanding of distinct ruminants' genomic features from non-ruminant species. All the (29 + X) chromosomes were chopped into manageable range of 50000 bp using PERL script. These fragments were given to MIcroSAtellite identification tool (MISA) to identify and find the location of perfect and compound microsatellites for all the chromosomes of goat genome. The SSR numbers, motifs, repeat number, length of the repeat, size of the repeat, repeat type, GC content, start and end position of the repeat and SSR sequence has been compiled. Chromosome wise description of the SSRs have been tabulated as well as represented as graphs. The mono, di, tri, tetra, penta and hexa type of microsatellites have been plotted to show the abundance of the type in chromosomes. In addition, facility to locate the SSRs on chromosomes based on the position number is incorporated which may be very useful to the biotechnologists. The tabulation of simple versus compound shows the proportion of the same. The data can be available on request
