herring {FinePop}

An example dataset of Atlantic herring.

Description

An example of a genetic data for Atlantic herring population (Limborg et al. 2012). It contains genotypic information of 281 SNPs from 18 subpopulations of 607 individuals. GENEPOP format (Rousset 2008) text file is available. Subpopulation names, environmental factors (temperature and salinity) at each subpopulation and geographic distance (shortest ocean path) among subpopulations also are attached.

Usage

data("herring")

Format

$ genepop : Genotypic information of 281 SNPs in GENEPOP format text data.
$ popname : Names of subpopulations.
$ environment : Table of temperature and salinity at each subpopulation.
$ distance : Matrix of geographic distance (shortest ocean path) among subpopulations.
$ popdata : Genotype data object of this herring data created by read.genepop function.
$ fst.bootstrap : Bootstrapped Fst estimations of this herring data generated by FstBoot function.
$ fst.env : Regression analysis of environmental effects on genetic differentiation of this herring data generated by FstEnv function.
