Table 2 Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) using Y-SNPs and Y-STRs

	Classification criterion	Total variation (%)	Fixation indices	(p value)
Y-SNPs	Among groups	3.08	F_CT=0.03082	0.02737
	Among populations within groups	3.08	F_SC=0.03177	0.00000
	Within population	93.84	F_ST=0.06161	0.00000
Y-STRs	Among groups	-0.12	F_CT= -0.00119	-0.67644
	Among populations within groups	1.22	F_SC=0.01216	0.00000
	Within populations	98.90	F_ST=0.01099	0.00000

Geographic Partitioning (three groups). (1) Jiangsu Han. (2) Southern Han. (3) Northern Han. F_SC=variance among populations within groups; F_ST=variance within population; F_CT=variance among groups. AMOVA test for Y-STR was based on 17 STR loci
