Errata from Salas et al. (2002)

Any errors noticed in Salas, A., Richards, M., De La Fe, T., Lareu, M.-V., Sobrino, B., Sánchez-Diz, P., Macaulay, V. & Carracedo, Á. (2002). The making of the African mtDNA landscape. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 71, 1082-1111 will be reported here.

12/02/03: In Figure 5a, the eight identical samples, shaded green, in L1c3 and labelled as coming from the Biaka (Bi) are in fact from Bioko (Bo).
12/02/03: Also in Figure 5a in L1c3, independent mutations at 16093 have been drawn when in fact there is no evidence to allow this resolution.
13/02/03: One likely L2c sample from the Brazilian sample of Bortolini et al. (1997) was omitted from Figure 7b. It departs from the root of L2c by a transition at 16290 and should be shaded dark pink and labelled "1B2".
13/02/03: In Figure 8a, the type 209-223-292-294-311 (in dark pink) labelled "2Ca" should be labelled "2Cr".
13/02/03: In Figure 8c, the two New World sequences 124-223-278-311-362 should be labelled "1B2 1St" and not "1B1 1St".
13/02/03: In the bibliography, the entry for Thomas et al. (2002) is misplaced between Ovchinnikov et al. (2000) and Passarino et al. (1998).
02/08/03: p.1105, paragraph 4: "Assuming that L3e and L1e ..." should read "Assuming that L3e and L1c ...".
20/09/05: table 2. After more than two years, the penny has finally dropped about the odd haplotype H025. A much more parsimonious alignment leads to the following sequence relative to the reference sequence: 129 187 189 223 274 278 292del 293 294 311 360.
27/02/06: table 2. The one instance of haplotype H034 should occur in column "n" (not column "m"). Many thanks to Estella Poloni for spotting this.
05/01/07: In Figure 7c, the 2 identical sequences labelled "2Sh" in L2d1 should be shaded yellow rather than blue.
