Read me for "Asynchronous spawning in sympatric populations of a hard coral reveals cryptic species and ancient genetic lineages" Rosser, N.L. 2015-08-14 This readme file describes the data files and supplementary files accompanying the above publication. For any further queries please contact natalie.rosser@research.uwa.edu.au The following files are included: 1) "Microsatellite dataset.csv" This is the raw data from the 13 microsatellites that were genotyped in 80 individuals of Acropora samoensis in this study. Explanations for column headers are as follows: "Colony ID" = Individual colony/sample ID. "Transect" = the name of the transect ("LOW" or "LOW3") on which each colony was located. "Latitude" = GPS co-ordinate (Latitude) for the site where the colonies were sampled (datum = WGS84). "Longitude" = GPS co-ordinate (Longitude) for the site where the colonies were sampled (datum = WGS84). "Date sampled" = the date on which genetic samples were taken from each colony. "Spawn cohort" = refers to the spawning cohort ("Autumn" or "Spring") to which each colony belongs ascertained from reproductive and genetic samples. "EST245 - EST097" = the name of the microsatellite locus. The numerical data are the scores that were generated in GeneMarker v 1.91 and refer to allele size. Individuals that failed to amplify at a particular locus are indicated by ** 2) "Calmodulin_alignment" This is a Nexus file of the aligned sequences of the nuclear gene "Calmodulin" that were sequenced in this study. 3) "mtDNA_CR_alignment" This is a Nexus file of the aligned sequences of the mitochondrial gene "Control Region" that were sequenced in this study. 4) "PaxC_cds_alignment" This is a Nexus file of the aligned sequences of an 882 bp fragment of the CODING REGION of the nuclear gene "PaxC" that were sequenced in this study. 5) "PaxC_intron_alignment" This is a Nexus file of the aligned sequences of the nuclear "PaxC" INTRON that were sequenced in this study.
