Whole genome short-read sequencing of deer mice from the Gulf Islands (British Columbia, Canada)
Whole genomes of wild-caught deer mice from two islands (Saturna and Pender) and one mainland (Maple Ridge) location in the Gulf Islands region (British Columbia, Canada) were sequenced using Illumina paired-end reads. This population genomic dataset was constructed for the purpose of reconstructing the demographic history, identifying targets of positive selection, and inferring the distribution of fitness effects for populations of mice that follow the island rule.
