Data and scripts: Genetic recapture of Holothuria whitmaei on Lizard island

Genetic data and ecological data and R scripts for publication: "Uthicke, S, Gomez Cabrera, M, Byrne, M, Purcell, S. 2026. Extreme longevity revealed by 24-year genetic mark–recapture challenges conservation of endangered sea cucumbers. iScience"

2 data sets and 6 R scripts.

Data: 1) vcf file produced by AGRF bioinformaticists, based on sequencing data deposited at:

Sequencing was performed on 10B 300 cycle lanes on the Illumina NovaSeq X platform, yielding 150 bp paired end reads.

Initial bioinformatics was conducted at AGRF using the DeNovoGBS function from NGSEP Version 4.2.0 (07/01/2022) 56 resulting in a vcf file with 224,347 SNPs.

Raw sequence data are available at NCBI National Library of Medicine (Biosample accession numbers SAMN60877514- SAMN60877674)
