Alternative allele frequency profiles based on 11 chromosomes. The alternate allele frequencies are shown for: a the diploid strains SA268 and MSOROM7 and the triploid clone BANANCL2; b BANAN/83/CRTRA/64 parasites and its clones BANANCL1, BANANCL2 and BANANCL3; c the BANANCL2 parasites extracted from the blood of tsetse-bite infected mice after completion of the full parasite cycle in the tsetse vector. The distribution of read depths for alternative alleles at heterozygous sites showed two peaks at around 0.33 and 0.66 for triploid chromosomes, and one peak at around 0.5 for diploid chromosomes. Note, these alternative allele frequencies were calculated based on each heterozygous SNP site for all chromosomes
