Fragment distribution of hDNA extractions
We quantified the DNA fragment distribution of three supernatant extractions and three formalin-fixed extractions (Appendix II). Fragment distribution of supernatant replicates ranged from 186 bp to 12.8 kbp. Fragment distributions of formalin-fixed extractions ranged from ~150 bp to ~400 bp. The formalin-fixed liver replicate of USNM 525133 had higher extraction yield (1100 ng) with a fragment distribution peak at ~400 bp, while the muscle replicate yielded 200 ng of DNA with a fragment distribution centered at ~185 bp.
