Genome-wide study on genetic diversity and phylogeny of five species in the genus Cervus
Journal: BMC Genomics
Year: 2019

Previous investigations of phylogeny in Cervus recovered many clades without whole genomic support. In this study, the genetic diversity and phylogeny of 5 species (21 subspecies/populations from C. unicolor, C. albirostris, C. nippon, C. elaphus and C. eldii) in the genus Cervus were analyzed using reduced-representation genome sequencing. A total of 197,543 SNPs were identified with an average sequencing depth of 16 x. A total of 21 SNP matrices for each subspecies/population and 1 matrix for
