Estimates of contamination with modern bovine DNA sequences.

The nucleotide position (as per the bovine mtDNA reference sequence, GenBank accession no. V00654) of each of the haplogroup P-diagnostic mtDNA SNPs is given in the left-hand column. The SNP allele identities for the I, R, Q and T haplogroups are shown. The numbers represent the number of times that an allele is observed in each of the bovine macro-haplogroups/haplogroups. The haplogroup P allele for the consensus sequence is provided along with the allele and read depth for each of the individual Illumina GA reads spanning the haplogroup P-diagnostic SNPs.
