Mito-Nuclear Discordance and Genomic Structuring in Desert Lizard Phrynocephalus Axillaris

239 Phrynocephalus axillaris lizard individuals from 21 localities in Xinjiang, China, provide genetic data supporting research on mito-nuclear discordance. The dataset includes complete sequences for four mitochondrial and three nuclear genes from Sanger sequencing, plus genome-wide SNP data from Genotyping-by-Sequencing. Author haifan YAN last updated the dataset on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Analyzing mito-nuclear discordance patterns based on sequences from four mitochondrial and three nuclear genes.
• Reconstructing population genetic structure based on genome-wide SNP data from 239 individuals.
• Estimating divergence times and phylogenetic relationships among 21 geographic populations.
• Building haplotype networks to visualize genetic diversity across the Tarim Basin region.

Strengths

• Includes data from 239 individual lizards across 21 distinct sampling localities.
• Combines Sanger sequencing data for seven specific genes with genome-wide SNP data from Genotyping-by-Sequencing.
• Data files are provided in standard bioinformatics formats (FASTA, VCF) totaling 363.1 MB.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the SNP data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
