Genetic identification of mammal host from unenriched, mitochondrial reads in study of prospecting for zoonotic pathogens by using targeted DNA enrichment. Reads were compared with a database of mammalian mitochondria and assigned a taxonomic classification based on these results. A heatmap of the results shows the relative proportion of classified reads assigned to mammalian genera. Samples with <50 mitochondrial reads and single-read genera are not shown.
