Block alternative allele frequency profiles. The block alternative allele frequency profiles based on windows of 1000 SNPs are shown for all the different BANAN samples. This technique enabled the estimation of the alternate allele frequencies in samples with low read depth. a The block frequency profile of BANAN/83/CRTRA/64, BANANCL3 and BANANCL2. b The block frequency profile of the diploid Burkinabe sample T. congolense SA268 is shown here as diploid control. c All the BANANCL2 samples showed a frequency profile characteristic of triploid samples (see main text and Methods). In contrast, BANANCL1 showed an alternate allele frequency profile with one peak characteristic to diploid samples. Abbreviations: MG, midgut; PV, proventriculus; PB, proboscis; MOU, mouse
