Early life coregonines collected from Lake Superior in 2019-2021 genotyped with GT-seq and the references used for genetic assignment

This data release contains sample information for a project using genotyping-in-thousands by sequencing (GT-seq) to identify to species early life coregonine fishes that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from Lake Superior in 2019-2021. Sample data are provided for both the larval and age-1 coregonines that underwent genetic identification and the reference fishes collected from numerous agencies between 2008-2023 that were used for assignment, including Coregonus artedi, Coregonus hoyi, Coregonus kiyi, Coregonus clupeaformis, Prosopium cylindraceum, and Prosopium coulterii. Sample information includes: the National Center for Biotechnology Institute BioProject IDs and accession numbers for the raw sequence data; internal IDs used for tissue and extract archiving at the Great Lakes Science Center's Molecular Ecology Laboratory; collection information; and biological data (where available) such as developmental stage, length (mm), and weight (g).
