In our study, we made use some of previously published genome sequences of Equus samples. Although we refered to the original work in Supplementary Table 1 by indicating the surname of the leading author followed by ‘et al.’ and the year of publication, we inadvertently failed to report the corresponding articles in the final reference list appearing in the main text. These references are listed below, sorted by alphabetic order:

Additionally, the citation to ‘Özkan et al., 2023’ in Supplementary Table1 should be corrected to ‘Özkan et al., 2024’. Finally, we note that Bennett et al. (2022) not only reported the first ancient genome sequences of E. hemionus, but also that the genome sequences of Tibetan kiangs and Mongolian khulans are closely related.

We apologize for this error.
