Amplification primer sequences for the eight mtGenome amplicons. The primers for Amplicon 8, which covers the mtDNA CR, were adopted from [13]. The reverse primer for Amplicon 7 (R16042) was previously designed for use as a sequencing primer [19]. All primers except F2480 (Amplicon 2), R4860 (Amplicon 2), R9146 (Amplicon 4) and R14077 (Amplicon 6) are also used for sequencing (see Table 2).
