Whole genome resequencing and mitogenomes of Southeast Asian pangolins

Recent studies have found genomic distinction between the putative pangolin species Manis cf. mysteria and sister taxa, M. javanica and M. culionensis, but incorporate only a limited representation of all lineages, which may obscure evolutionary inferences and overlook important genetic variation at species boundaries. This project aims to sequence genomes from all three lineages as broadly as possible via seizure samples to holistically investigate evolutionary relationships between the lineages. This dataset contains low coverage raw whole genome Illumina sequencing data and assembled mitogenomes of seizure samples of all three lineages.
