Network of Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (Y-STR) haplotypes belonging to haplogroup I1*-M253. The network was obtained by the analysis of 80 unrelated I1*-M253 haplotypes consisting of 21 Y-STR loci (web Table 1). Circumscribed nodes indicate chromosomes with DYS392 = 10.2 alleles. Loci were weighted proportionally to the inverse of the repeat variance with DYS392 given a maximum weight = 99. Node and sector areas are proportional to the haplotype frequency. Geographic representation is indicated by the following colors: blue – Denmark, green – Germany, orange – Netherlands, yellow – England and Ireland, pink – France, and gray – Eastern Europe (Russia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Austria).
