Y-SNP data for Y-chromosome genetic characterization of Tibetan antelope supporting conservation efforts

This dataset contains Y-SNP (Y-chromosome Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data from a single Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) specimen, focusing on 14 specific SNP markers of the Y-chromosome. The data contributes to our understanding of genetic diversity and supports conservation efforts by providing insights into the population structure of this endangered species. Although limited to one individual, this dataset serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying the evolutionary biology and genetics of Tibetan antelopes, particularly in the context of developing targeted conservation strategies for calving-centered protected areas. All samples were collected under ethical guidelines, ensuring non-invasive sampling methods and compliance with legal requirements for genetic studies., , # Y-SNP data for Y-chromosome genetic characterization of Tibetan antelope supporting conservation efforts

## Description of the data and file structure

#### File: Dataset_submission.zip

**Description**: This compressed file contains 14 Y-SNP sequences from the Tibetan antelope 22B1 sample.

This dataset contains Y-SNP (Y-chromosome Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data from a single Tibetan antelope (*Pantholops hodgsonii*) specimen. The data was collected as part of an ongoing research project aimed at understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of Tibetan antelopes, with a specific focus on supporting the establishment of calving-centered protected areas for their conservation.

Sampling procedures and all subsequent operations adhered strictly to the Guidelines for the Management of Animal Experiments and were approved by the Chinese Zoological Society. DNA extraction and sequencing were conducted fo...,
