a

E-M78 frequency includes chromosomes belonging to clusters α–δ and 14 additional chromosomes (12 chromosomes excluded from the four clusters in fig. 2B and two Azeri chromosomes for which complete microsatellite data were not available).

b

This sample (or a subset of it) was previously typed for a subset of the markers here analyzed (Scozzari et al. 1997, 2001; Malaspina et al. 2000, 2001; Cruciani et al. 2002).

c

Sample (or a subset of it) from the Human Genome Diversity Project/CEPH DNA panel (Cann et al. 2002).

d

This sample includes 16 DNA samples from the Human Genome Diversity Project/CEPH DNA panel and 26 previously reported samples (Scozzari et al. 2001).
