Loggerhead sea turtle single nucleotide polymorphism data for Dry Tortugas National Park, 2008 - 2016
April 24, 2026
This release contains single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data derived from tissue and blood samples collected from 25 loggerhead individuals across nine years from the Dry Tortugas. Data are provided in FASTQ format, a text-based data structure supported by bioinformatics tools.

Characterizing the genetic structure and connectivity between populations of endangered species can be used to inform management actions. In vagile species with high gene flow or recently established populations, such characterizations can be difficult to undertake using traditional genetic markers, and genetic stock identification (GSI) may be confounded by allele-sharing between...
