Urban vs Rural Population SNPs from ddRAD-seq, Filtered with PLINK

A 15.2 MB VCF file of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from double-digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-seq) of urban and rural populations. The dataset was cleaned and filtered using PLINK software and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was authored by Yomiran Nissan and last updated on April 15, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify genetic variants associated with urban or rural environments based on SNP data.
• Conduct population structure analysis based on filtered SNP genotypes.
• Perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for traits linked to environmental adaptation.
• Compare genetic diversity and differentiation between urban and rural groups.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly cleaned and filtered using the standard PLINK toolset.
• File size of 15.2 MB indicates a manageable dataset for analysis.

Limitations

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