Genomics of Adaptation to Environmental Change in Two Wild Bird Populations, 2012

The purpose of this project was to develop a custom SNP array for genotype-phenotype mapping and also to understand how natural selection influences the genome. The DNA samples are taken from blood samples from house sparrows during field work. The data derives from four different islands on the Helgeland coast of Norway that are a part of a long-term study on house sparrows. The data material consists of genotypes from 1898 individuals and 6318 SNP. Two additional NFR projects have contributed to generating these data: "The Genetic Basis of Response to Selection in Natural Bird Populations - Insight from State-of-the-Art Genomics Analyses" (191847) and "The Effect of Population Size on Short-Term Rates of Evolution in Natural Populations" (221956).
