The tabular background is values for human Y chromosome microsatellite repeats with the predicted haplogroup for a sample highlighted with a dashed yellow oval. The evolutionary history of the haplogroup is traced in red on the human Y chromosome gene tree; haplogroups traversed during the prediction process and corresponding confidence values are displayed in grey in the lower section of the montage (see Schlecht et al., doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000093).
