Dataset of SSR markers for Hedychium spicatum (Zingiberaceae) based on draft genome assembly and experimental characterization of few markers

This is the dataset of candidate SSR markers for the montane ginger Hedychium spicatum (family: Zingiberaceae). SSR markers are inferred based on contig level genome assembly of H. spicatum using MISA and the primers are designed using Primer3. The annotation of the contigs and the SSR markers are given in the tables. From the set of candidate SSR loci, 62 were tested for amplification success and homology by experimental validation. 11 markers were characterized by amplifying in a set of samples whose collection details are also provided in a table format. Genotypes for all the samples in terms of the fragment length for all the 11 loci is also given in GenAlex format. Experimental details of this data set are soon to be communicated in a manuscript.

本数据集为姜科姜花属密花姜花（Hedychium spicatum，俗称山地姜）的候选简单序列重复（Simple Sequence Repeat, SSR）标记数据集。本研究基于密花姜花的重叠群（contig）级基因组组装结果，通过MISA软件推断SSR标记，并使用Primer3软件设计引物。重叠群注释信息及SSR标记注释信息均以表格形式提供。从候选SSR位点集合中筛选出62个位点，并通过实验验证了其扩增成功率与同源性。其中11个标记通过一组样本完成扩增验证与分型，样本采集信息同样以表格形式提供。针对该11个位点的所有样本的片段长度基因型数据，均采用GenAlex格式存储。本数据集的实验细节将在后续发表的手稿中详细说明。
