Just a few years ago, genomic studies of nonmodel organisms were extremely time and cost prohibitive, but recent advances in next-generation sequencing have made it possible to generate hundreds to thousands of informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for non-model organisms. We generated a SNP panel using restriction site-associated DNA (RAD) sequencing for species of the genus Buteo (Falconiformes: Accipitridae) with the aim of creating genomic resources in the absence of a reference genome. Using blood and feather samples from three different Buteo species, we used HiSeq Illumina sequencing to generate raw reads. We built 29 162 contigs and discovered 89 921 SNPs using paired-end single-digest RAD data. Using Bayesian clustering and principal componenets analysis, this SNP panel successfully assigned individuals of three Buteo (B. swainsoni, B. jamaicensis, B. lagopus) species correctly to species. We then scanned the SNPs for association with variation in coloration within the three species. This de novo reference will have broad application to the study of Buteo genomic diversity, analysis of population structure within species, identification of hybrids, and other applied studies of the avian genome.
