Population genetic structure of white-tailed deer using microsatellites i the Mid-Atalntic region

Results of 11 microsatellites for white-tailed deer collected in Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia from 2014 to 2022 for genetic analysis. In this project we assessed genetic structure using different analyses, and evaluated the performance of assignment tests to correctly match deer to origin (defined as genetic cluster, state or physiographic province). This repository includes all R scripts used for analyses in the manuscript.
