Abstract:

This data set includes three alignments (12S, 16S, COI) of mitochondrial DNA sequences, as well as two raw fastq files generated through the next-generation sequencing (NGS) method ddRADseq. This data was collected from Bathynomus giganteus specimens collected from throughout the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.
