California Slender Salamander ddRAD Population Genetics

We used modern genomics techniques to evaluate the population genetics of a small plethodontid salamander, the California slender salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus), throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We collected tissues from contemporary populations, extracted DNA, and processed libraries for sequencing using a double digest RAD-seq sequencing library approach (i.e. genotyping by sequencing; GBS).
