Sus scrofa Raw sequence reads. Sus scrofa

Retracing the ancient human migration routes in the remote islands of the Pacific relies on robust models of the origins and spread of animals that were commensal to long-distance ocean voyag-es. Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in Polynesia belong to a rare mitochondrial DNA group whose ge-ographic origins are disputed. We report new complete genome ancient DNA that suggests all founding populations of pigs in Polynesia, first settled by people about 2800-700 years ago, can be traced back to northern peninsular Southeast Asia.
