Coverage data in males and females, and genetic markers used for genetic mapping of the guppy LG12 (sex chromosome pair)

The study used genetic mapping and coverage data in genome sequences of multiple male and female individuals of M. picta from multiple natural populations to investigate genetic degeneration of the Y chromosome, and quantify gene loss from the Y. The files include coverage results from the sex chromosome that were (i) used for sexing the sequenced individuals, and (ii) combined with autosomal results to analyze M/F, M/A and F/A depth of coverage ratios. Genetic mapping was also used to validate sex linkage, and the data set includes files with genotypes of genetic markers.
