Inter-specific comparison of the NR1D1 cTNR
Preliminary analyses for signatures of selection conducted on theNR1D1 locus in Canada lynx and bobcat were conducted by Prentice
et al., (2017a). Here, we mapped the distribution and frequencies ofNR1D1 alleles both across and within species, and assessed
introgressed lynx-bobcat individuals to determine whether these
individuals had lynx, bobcat or mixed genotypes. To facilitate
comparison at the NR1D1 locus, we also assessed allele frequency
distributions at neutral microsatellites of lynx and bobcat. All bobcat
and introgressed individuals were removed from the remainder of the
analyses.
