Whole-exome data from 15 hare species (genus Lepus spp.) species and pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis). Raw sequence reads. Lepus

Whole-exome data used for phylogenomic analyses of the hare (Lepus spp.) radiation. This study had the aim of clarifying the evolutionary history of hares and the contribution of long-term hybridization in the genus to modern standing levels of genetic variation and local adaptation. We produced whole-exome data for 30 specimens across 15 hare species and 2 pygmy rabbit specimens.
