Agarose gel electropherogram of the sensitivity test. DNA extracted from an Asian elephant (#EM35), African savanna elephant (#LA10), and woolly mammoth (#MP5) was diluted in ~10 ng/µl (D1), ~1 ng/µl (D2), ~0.1 ng/µl (D3), ~10 pg/µl (D4) and 1 pg/µl (D5), while for African forest elephant (#LC4), four latter dilutions of DNA were done followed by amplification in triplicate through PCR using the L15123/ H15240 primers. The full length gels are presented in Supplementary Fig. S1.
