Raw data of samples of the Korean endemic shrub Abeliophyllum distichum in fastq format

White forsythia or Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai (Oleaceae) is the only
member in its genus and is an endangered shrub endemic, with limited and
fragmented distribution, to the Korean Peninsula. Due to its endemicity
and distribution status, several populations of the species have been
designated as Korean natural monuments, an IUCN Category III protected
area. More recently, the species’ genomic variation and structure, and the
demographic history of divergence of its genetic groups were investigated.
In our current work, we look into the species’ genetic-landscape pattern,
interpopulation connectivity, individual genetic group population size
change history, and the species’ future distribution using SNPs and RAD
loci datasets. Here, we provide the raw genomic data derived from high
throughput sequencing of reduced representation libraries of
135 A. distichum individuals across nine natural populations (15
samples per population, including those from five natural monuments
habitats) of the species. The libraries were prepared using the GBS
protocol and demultiplexed using the Stacks 2 software to generate a
dataset of fastq files for each sample. These datasets have been employed
in our current study with the running title “Population connectivity and
size reductions in the Anthropocene: the consequence of landscapes and
historical bottlenecks in white forsythia fragmented habitats” submitted
to the BMC Journal of Ecology and Evolution.
