Betula mcallisterii sp. nov. and Betula luminifera raw sequence reads

We use morphology, restriction site-associated DNA sequencing and flow cytometry to describe a new species: Betula mcallisterii, to prove Betula luminifera (accession number 19933472) at RBGE is B. mcallisterii and to investigate the extent of hybridization and introgression between B. mcallisterii and B. luminifera in natural populations.
