ID 701550 (hybrid, 2007) [4]	1	0	1
ID 1001065 + 1001065_fetus (pregnant hybrid + fetus, 2010) [7]	2	0	2
ID 9601017, 1101069, 1101158, 1101205, 1401130 (Outlier/abnormal individuals from NMDR, 2009–2014)^b	5	0	5

^aDwarfs were sequenced in individually tagged lanes and their genotypes were inferred from the sequence data
^bPreviously unpublished, extracted from NMDR based on visual inspection of microsatellites
