The 268 samples yielded an average of 7.0 million paired reads per individual (range: 0.03 – 23.5). Twenty-nine individuals were removed due to a significant amount of missing data (≥ 60%) or low coverage (≤ 9.5×). After filtering, the final dataset contained 229 individuals from 29 populations and included 102,144 SNPs on 58,372 polymorphic loci, with an average coverage of 27× and 32% missing data.
