Exome Capture of Mytilus galloprovincialis

Global climate change has intensified the need to assess the capacity for natural populations to adapt to rapid shifts in the environment. Reductions in seawater pH constitute a conspicuous global change stressor that is affecting marine ecosystems globally. The data in this project correspond to a study identifying the phenotypic and genetic modifications associated with rapid adaptation to reduced seawater pH in the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. A genetically diverse larval population was reared in two pH environments (pHT 8.1 and 7.4) and changes in the shell size distribution and genetic variation were monitored through settlement. Deposited data corresponds to exome capture data generated from twenty-eight, individually barcoded founding adults, and twenty-two pooled larval samples collected in each pH environment throughout development. Details of experimental design and subsequent analyses are described in Bitter et al. 2019 (doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/700526).
