Table 2.

Diversity values based on 11 Y-STR loci (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, and the sum of DYS385a/b): where N is the sample size, HD is the Haplotype Diversity with its standard deviation (s.d.), and STR var is the variance of repeat units averaged across all 11 STR loci.
