SNPs Identified in the Sequenced Region To the left, a simplified version of the Y chromosome tree showing the phylogenetic relationships among the 47 Y chromosomes analyzed. SNP names are given at the top. Squares represent the allelic state for each SNP: white, ancestral allele; black, the SNP has arisen in an X-Y gametologous sequence variant, and the derived state is equal to the gametologous base on the X; vertical bars, the SNP has arisen in an X-Y gametologous sequence variant, and the derived state is different from the gametologous base on the X; gray, the SNP has arisen in a site identical between X and Y; horizontal bars, the SNP is a shared polymorphism between X and Y.
