RADseq data for Atlantic and Indian Yellow-nosed albatross
Abstract
This dataset contains demultiplexed fq.gz files of RADseq data for Atlantic and Indian yellow-nosed albatrosses. All sequences are trimmed to 80bp, and adaptors are removed. This dataset has sequences from 48 Atlantic and 48 Indian yellow-nosed albatrosses. Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross samples are from the three breeding populations: Gough Island (Sample01-Sample16), Inaccessible Island (Sample17-Sample32), and Nightingale Island (Sample33-Sample48). For the Indian yellow-nosed albatross, there are sequences for birds from one breeding population, Amsterdam Island (Sample49-Sample64), and bycatch samples from around New Zealand (Sample65-Sample80) and South Africa (Sample81-Sample96). A total of 16 individuals are sampled for each breeding population or bycatch group. These data are associated with the articles "Comparison of genotyping by sequencing procedures to determine population genetic structure" (DOI: 10.1007/s10142-022-00929-6) and "Discovery of population genetic differentiation in two pelagic seabird species using RAD sequencing".
