Restriction site-associated sequence data collected from Alaska black bears

The identification of individuals and relatives is important to natural resource management, as genetic mark-recapture surveys are frequently used to estimate the size and demographic parameters of harvested populations. In this study, we sequenced individual American black bears (Ursus americanus) collected from Alaska with restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) to develop a panel of microhaplotype markers for the genetic identification of individuals and first-order relatives. This data package includes raw sequence data (fastq files) for 85 individual bears.

个体及其亲属的识别对于自然资源管理而言至关重要，因为遗传标记重捕 (genetic mark-recapture) 调查常被用于估算狩猎种群的种群规模与种群统计参数。本研究对从阿拉斯加采集的美洲黑熊 (Ursus americanus) 开展了限制性位点相关DNA测序 (restriction site-associated DNA sequencing, RAD-seq)，以开发一套用于个体及一级亲属遗传识别的微单倍型标记面板。本数据包包含85头个体黑熊的FASTQ格式原始测序数据 (fastq files)。
