De novo transcriptome assembly and polymorphism detection in two highly divergent evolutionary units of Bosca's newt (Lissotriton boscai) endemic to the Iberian Peninsula

This article reports the de novo transcriptomes of two highly divergent evolutionary units of the Iberian endemic Bosca’s newt, Lissotriton boscai. These two units are distributed allopatrically but meet in areas of secondary contact in central-southwestern coastal region of Portugal. The resources we provide include the raw sequence reads, the assembled transcripts and SNPs called for both lineages.
