Genetics in the ocean’s twilight zone: Population structure of the glacier lanternfish across its distribution range

Abstract

Dataset for "Genetics in the ocean’s twilight zone: Population structure of the glacier lanternfish across its distribution range", published in Evolutionary Applications, a Wiley journal

The information deposited consists of two excel files: 1. Benthosema_SNP markers.xlsx. This file contains three spreadsheets: a. Benthosema_Potential SNPs: A set of 128 potential loci were identified for greater argentine. SNP identification together with flanking sequence is provided for each marker. The SNP to be genotyped is identified within brackets. b. SNPs distribution in multiplex: Markers were distributed into six multiplex reactions (W1 to W6). c. Reaction conditions: Primers were developed for the potential SNPs and reaction conditions are specified. 2. Benthosema_ Data.xlsx. This file contains all the available data for the 1288 individuals typed at 121 SNP loci and distributed across 16 sampling sites. Information consists of: Individual identification (ID), Sample (geographic sampling site), habitat (Ocean, Fjord, Mediterranean), coordinates (latitude and longitude), fishing gear, fork length (mm), type of SV (AA, AB, BB), haplotypes, and genotype. Coding of genotypes is as follows: 1 (A), 2 (C), 3 (G), 4 (T) and 0 (missing data). Note that length data was not available for the individuals sampled in the West Mediterranean and it is noted as n.a.
