MIG-seq analysis of the pelagic copepod Pleuromamma xiphias
The planktonic copepod Pleuromamma xiphias is a dominant contributor to mesozooplankton biomass in the tropical and subtropical North Pacific. This project aimed to reveal genetic structures of P. xiphias in the tropical and subtropical North Pacific using a genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. The multiplexed inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq; Suyama and Matsuki 2015) was performed for P. xiphias. Samples of P. xiphias were collected during KH-14-3 cruise on RV Hakuho-maru. According to the method of MIG-seq in Suyama et al. (2022), sequencing libraries were prepared. The raw 150PE sequence reads were obtained on Illumina NovaSeq system.
