  1. Calculations were done in DnaSP v. 5.10. Gaps were excluded from the analysis. Comparative groups are identified in Figures 2a and 2b, and RW is the red wolf sequence identified with superscript "ruf" in Figures 2a and 2b. The dog sequence was excluded from analyses and Ccr19 was excluded from the OWCR5gwEU grouping because it clustered independently from North American and Eurasian lineages (see Figure 2a). NW = New World; OW = Old World; CR = control region.
