Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) of Y—Chromosome—Specific Microsatellites in Two Closely Related Human Populations

Abstract

Human Molecular Genetics5, 1029–1033 (1996)

Due to a programming error, molecular variance figures were miscalculated, rendering Table 2 and Figure 2 incorrect. The correct table and figure are shown below. The authors wish to apologise for this mistake, which has, however, not affected any of the conclusions from the original article. Dr J. C. Long is gratefully acknowledged for bringing inconsistent Φ_ST values to the authors' attention.

Figure 2.

(A) Sample distribution of population genetics parameters as determined from 10 000 randomly chosen MSTs (with the y-axis scale ranging from 0 to 8%). (B) Difference to mean Φ_ST for the 100 optimal MSTs with respect to σ², σ_a² and r(O,X), respectively (with the logarithmic y-axis scale ranging from 10 to 10⁶%).
