Datasets

The text file contains the original data used in the phylogenetic analyses of Wang et al. (2017: Scientific Reports 7:45387). The text file is marked up according to the standard NEXUS format commonly used by various phylogenetic analysis software packages. The file will be parsed automatically by a variety of programs that recognize NEXUS as a standard bioinformatics file format. The first six lines of the file identify the file as NEXUS, indicate that the file contains data for 81 taxa (species) and 2905 characters, indicate that the first 2805 characters are DNA sequence and the last 100 are morphological, that the data may be interleaved (with data for one species on multiple rows), that gaps inserted into the DNA sequence alignment are indicated by a dash, and that missing data are indicated by a question mark. The file contains aligned nucleotide sequence data for 5 gene regions and 100 morphological characters. The identity and positions of data partitions are indicated in the mrbayes block of commands for the phylogenetic program MrBayes at the end of the file. The mrbayes block also contains instructions for MrBayes on various non-default settings for that program. These are explained in the original publication. Descriptions of the morphological characters and more details on the species and specimens included in the dataset are provided in the supplementary document included as a separate pdf. The original raw DNA sequence data are available from NCBI GenBank under the accession numbers indicated in the supplementary file.

The text file contains the original DNA sequence data used in the phylogenetic analyses of Krishnankutty et al. (2016: Systematic Entomology 41: 580–595). The text file is marked up according to the standard NEXUS format commonly used by various phylogenetic analysis software packages. The file will be parsed automatically by a variety of programs that recognize NEXUS as a standard bioinformatics file format. The file contains five separate data blocks, one for each character partition (28S, histone H3, 12S, indels, and morphology) for 53 taxa (species). Gaps inserted into the DNA sequence alignment are indicated by a dash, and missing data are indicated by a question mark. The separate "indels1" block includes 40 indels (insertions/deletions) from the 28S sequence alignment re-coded using the modified complex indel coding scheme, as described in the "Materials and methods" of the original publication. The DIMENSIONS statements near the beginning of each block indicate the numbers of taxa (NTax) and characters (NChar). The file contains aligned nucleotide sequence data for 3 gene regions and 40 morphological characters. The file is configured for use with the maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic program GARLI but can also be parsed by any other bioinformatics software that supports the NEXUS format. Descriptions of the morphological characters and more details on the species and specimens included in the dataset are provided in the supplementary document included as a separate pdf. The original raw DNA sequence data are available from NCBI GenBank under the accession numbers indicated in the supporting pdf file. More details on individual analyses are provided in the original publication.

This repository contains datasets and R scripts that were used in a study of the population structure of Miscanthus sacchariflorus in its native range across East Asia. Notably, genotypes of 764 individuals at 34,605 SNPs, called from reduced-representation DNA sequencing using a non-reference bioinformatics pipeline, are provided. Two similar SNP datasets, used for identifying clonal duplicates and for determining the ancestry of ornamental and hybrid Miscanthus plants identified in previous studies respectively, are also provided. There is also a spreadsheet listing the provenance and ploidy of all individuals along with their plastid (chloroplast) haplotypes. Software output for Structure, Treemix, and DIYABC is also included. See README.txt for more information about individual files. Results of this study are described in a manuscript in revision in Annals of Botany by the same authors, "Population structure of Miscanthus sacchariflorus reveals two major polyploidization events, tetraploid-mediated unidirectional introgression from diploid Miscanthus sinensis, and diversity centered around the Yellow Sea."

Data used for Zaya et al. (2018), published in Invasive Plant Science and Management DOI 10.1017/inp.2017.37, are made available here. There are three spreadsheet files (CSV) available, as well as a text file that has detailed descriptions for each file ("readme.txt"). One spreadsheet file ("prices.csv") gives pricing information, associated with Figure 3 in Zaya et al. (2018). The other two spreadsheet files are associated with the genetic analysis, where one file contains raw data for biallelic microsatellite loci ("genotypes.csv") and the other ("structureResults.csv") contains the results of Bayesian clustering analysis with the program STRUCTURE. The genetic data may be especially useful for future researchers. The genetic data contain the genotypes of the horticultural samples that were the focus of the published article, and also genotypes of nearly 400 wild plants. More information on the location of the wild plant collections can be found in the Supplemental information for Zaya et al. (2015) Biological Invasions 17:2975–2988 DOI 10.1007/s10530-015-0926-z.

These are the results of an 8 month cohort study in two commercial dairy herds in Northwest Illinois. From each herd, 50 cows were selected at random, stratified over lactations 1 to 3. Serum from these animals was collected every two months and tested for antibodies to Bovine Leukosis Virus, Neospora caninum, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Animals that left the herd during the study were replaced by another animal in the same herd and lactation. At the last sampling, serum neutralization assays were performed for Bovine Herpesvirus type 1 and Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus type 1 and 2. Production data before and after sampling was collected for the entire herd from PCdart.

Pollen types were identified to species when possible and assigned a life form based on descriptions provided in Croat, T.B. (1978). Taxa from BCI and PNSL were assigned a 1 if present in forest census data or a 0 if absent. The relative representation of each taxon has been provided for each extended record and by dry and wet season representation respectively. CA loadings are provided for axes 1 and 2 (Fig. 1).

The International Registry of Reproductive Pathology Database is part of pioneering work done by Dr. Kenneth McEntee to comprehensively document thousands of disease cases studies. His large and comprehensive collection of case reports and physical samples was complimented by development of the International Registry of Reproductive Pathology Database in the 1980s. The original FoxPro Database files and a migrated access version were completed by the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016. Access CSV files were completed by the University of Illinois Library in 2017.
