Position of crossover.

^{^}

Alternative position for the crossover.

^1,2

Crossover positions in a double-crossover event. Haplotypes in bold text indicate new haplotypes identified in this study. Haplotypes in underlined text indicate haplotypes that have not been observed at the Bandiagara, Mali site and therefore represent events that are less likely to have occurred in Bandiagara but that could have occurred elsewhere and been imported.
