&lt;p&gt;TITLE FOR THE DATASET&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Beaver Genetics&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;INFORMATION ON PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING
THE DATA&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Priyank Sharad Nimje &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Faculty of Technology, Natural Sciences and
Maritime Sciences&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DATE(S) OF DATA COLLECTION&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- The samples were collected as a part of Norwegian
Beaver Project from 1996 – 2016. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION(S) OF DATA COLLECTION&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- The study area was located in Telemark
County, in southeastern Norway, along the rivers Straumen (59&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; 29’
N, 09&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; 153’ E), Sauar (59&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; 444’ N, 09&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; 307’
E), and Gvarv (59&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; 386’ N, 09&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; 179 E)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LANGUAGE&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- English. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;----------------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FILE INFORMATION&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;----------------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The files can be visualized in Microsoft Excel. For
parentage analysis, files are saved in Cervus format, to be used further in the
software program Cervus 3.0&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SHARING &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ALL UPLOADED DATASETS HAVE THEIR OWN CITE AND
SHARING SECCTION IN USN RESEARD DATA ARCHIVE &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;METHODOLOGY&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----------&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DESCRIBE THE PROCESS OF COLLECTING AND GENERATING
YOUR DATA&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; After
collection of samples, DNA was extracted from the samples at University of
South-eastern Norway. Followed by SNP genotyping using qPCR to collect SNP
database for all the available beaver samples. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; We
used Applied Bioscience’s StepOne qPCR machine for SNP genotyping. For data
visualization and analysis software programs such as, GenAlEx, Cervus,
Co-ancestry, ML-relate etc. were used. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; The
current data uploaded is the raw SNP database, used for parentage analysis. The
data can be visualized using Microsoft Excel. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
