Sequence types for hypervariable region I (HVR-I) between base pairs 16,021 and 16,400 are shown as variant positions minus 16,000 relative to Cambridge reference sequence (26). Polymorphic positions are transitions unless the change is specified.
Haplogroup assignment of each sequence type is based on diagnostic motifs as described in refs. 4–6.
VP, Venezuela Puerto Ayacucho; VC, Venezuela Caracas.
CRS, Cambridge reference sequence. This sequence seems associated with several Eurasian haplogroups and is the most frequent type in populations of Europe and the Middle East (47).
