Whole genome population structure of North Atlantic kelp confirms high-latitude glacial refugia

Presented here are files related the genome assembly of the kelp Alaria esculenta using long and short read data, and population genomic analysis of North Atlantic populations. The specific files are: Alaria esculenta draft genome: alaria_v3.fasta: Final assembly contigs alaria_v3.gff3: Final assembly annotations Alaria_esculenta_V1_repetitive_regions.out (note, contains annotations for sequences in our initial draft genome, from which we have sinced removed putative non-target sequences) Population genomic analyses: A_esculenta_coverage_exon-gene_annotations_30vi22.xlsx: presents exon coverage values for each population. Note, coverage is standardized within each sample for expected coverage of single copy orthologues; 0=missing, 1=expected coverage, >1=greater coverage relative to single copy orthologues (where 2=2x, 3=3x, ect).
