Ancient introgression explains mitochondrial genome capture and mitonuclear discordance among South American collared Tropidurus lizards

Here we provide the datasets, input and output files used and/or produced during the realization of the work “Ancient introgression explains mitochondrial genome capture and mitonuclear discordance among South American collared Tropidurus lizards”. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary causes of a clear case of mitonuclear discordance in the Tropidurus spinulosus species group. We analyzed mitochondrial genomes and nuclear ultraconserved elements (UCEs) sequences, and thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from UCEs across different species within the group. The READ-ME.txt file contains a brief description of each of the files in the folders provided here. Authors: Matheus M. A. Salles*, André L. G. Carvalho, Adam D.
