Sample collection and genotyping-by-sequencing data
One hundred quails were sampled for this study; 78 captured wild African
harlequin quails and 22 domestic Japanese quails from Siaya and Kajiado
Counties of Kenya, respectively. This comprised an equal number of male
and female individuals for every visited farm. Wild African harlequin
quails were captured around homesteads using traditional methods
described by Wamuyu et al. (2017). DNA extracted from blood samples was
sequenced using the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach and the
generated sequence data was extracted from our previous publication
(Ogada et al., 2021).
