Microsatellite genotyping and mitochondrial control region sequencing of skin samples from common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) during remote biopsy surveys near Mississippi Sound, Mississippi from 2018-09-19 to 2018-10-31 and health assessments near Dauphin Island, Alabama from 2018-09-

Wildlife biologists collected skin and blubber samples from common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) near Dauphin Island, Alabama during capture/release health assessments and near Mississippi Sound, Mississippi using remote biopsies. We performed DNA sequencing on these samples, targeting a portion of the mitochondrial DNA control region and determined their haplotype for this region. We also genotyped 43 nuclear microsatellite loci. The actual mitochondrial DNA sequence data can be found by searching for the accession numbers provided at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/.

本数据集的样本由野生动物生物学家采集获得：在阿拉巴马州多芬岛附近开展捕获放归健康评估期间，以及在密西西比州密西西比湾附近通过远程活检手段，采集了普通宽吻海豚（Tursiops truncatus）的皮肤与鲸脂样本。研究人员对上述样本进行DNA测序，靶向区域为线粒体DNA控制区的一段序列，并确定了各样本在该区域的单倍型；同时对43个核微卫星位点完成了基因分型。完整的线粒体DNA序列数据可通过在https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/ 中搜索提供的登录号获取。
