Southeast Asian Frog Genomic Data for Species Delimitation Analysis

Southeast Asian genomic data from the Pulchrana picturata frog complex, collected using the FrogCap sequence-capture protocol. The dataset includes exons, introns, and ultraconserved elements, generated by researchers from the National University of Singapore. It was used to compare conventional species delimitation methods with analyses accounting for population structure and gene flow.

Use Cases

• Comparing tree-based versus gene-flow-aware species delimitation methods based on multi-locus genomic data.
• Analyzing the impact of introgression on phylogenetic inference based on mitochondrial and nuclear sequence divergence.
• Investigating patterns of cryptic diversity and population structure in Southeast Asian amphibians.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple genomic element types: exons, introns, and ultraconserved elements.
• Analysis demonstrates specific genetic divergence patterns, such as mitochondrial DNA divergences up to 10%.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
