Mitogenome of historical Equus caballus from Puerto Real (Haiti)
Dna was extracted from archaeological bone of the 16th century site of Puerto Real (Haiti). The enrichment initially targeted cow mitogenomes using RNA baits designed from the cow referene mitogenome (RefSeq: NC_006853.1). Library prep, enrichment and sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq platform were performed by RAPiD Genomics. After assembly these reads were attributed to a horse mitogenome, the first documented genome of a colonial horse in the Americas.
