Genotoype-by-sequencing of three geographically-distinct populations of the Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida

There are very few genomic resources for the native Puget Sound (Washington, USA) oyster, Ostrea lurida. In order to aid restoration efforts of this native oyster, we have produced high-throughput sequencing data from three geographically-distinct populations found in the Puget Sound. These data provide a needed resource to aid proper management of this species during restoration.We used a genotype-by-sequencing approach to sequence 32 individuals from each of three geographically-separated Olympia oyster populations (Dabob Bay, Fidalgo Bay, Oyster Bay).
