Rum and Argyll red deer genotype files

The red deer population inhabiting the north block of the Isle of Rum, Scotland (57°0’N, 6°20’W) has been studied at an individual level since 1971 and was the main focus of this study. After quality control 39,587 autosomal SNPs genotyped in 3046 individuals were retained for analysis. This study also used equivalent genotype data for 157 individuals from a mainland population of red deer from Argyll, Scotland. Data files are in plink readable format (.bed .bim .fam) and include a .txt file with estimated SNP positions in centimorgans (cM). If you plan to analyse the data, we request that you inform us, see README file for more information.
