Population genetics, trait mapping and fungal pathogen surveillance using untargeted sequencing in timber rattlesnakes ( <i>Crotalus horridus)</i>
2025-10-22
Abstract excerpt
Timber rattlesnakes ( Crotalus horridus ) face escalating threats in the Northeastern Appalachians, including habitat fragmentation, human encroachment, and the fungal pathogen Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola . Using untargeted sequencing of DNA extracted from scale clips, we generated both host whole-genome and metagenomic data for 97 snakes from eight populations. Analysis of the snake genomes shows the populations...
