a
Geographic groups are defined as in table 1. Northern and southern Cameroon have been kept separated.
b
P value indicates the fraction of cases in which a Φ value greater than the quoted value is obtained in a permutation test of samples across populations and therefore tests the null hypothesis of no population structure.
