Reference genome of Corallium japonicum (Coralliidae)

To reveal larval dispersal range of Corallium japonicum that is suffering from poaching and over-harvesting, we estimated spatial genetic structure using genome-wide SNPs obtained by high-throughput technology. We examined the power of detecting significant spatial structure by changing the number of loci and the proportion of missing data using both using both in de novo and mapping method. This assembled sequencing data was created from C. japonicum (Label: アカサンゴ1, Sample number: 91) collected in Shiraho, Okinawa, Japan on 24th October 2011 and used as a reference genome.
