ATLAS Deliverable 4.2 Connectivity tissue collections for ATLAS

The deliverable includes: (1) a database on the species from which tissue collections can be made available to ATLAS for genetic and genomic studies to understand species genetic connectivity, phylogeography and evolution and how these are affected by different dispersal strategies; (2) a bibliographic compilation of connectivity studies on cold water coral species, as well as some general-reference papers, book chapters and theses; and (3) a compilation of results from preliminary tests on the adequacy of performing Restriction site-associated DNA (RAD) sequencing on cold-water coral species.
