Figure 1.
Map of Bulgaria outlining the former administrative provinces within which samples were allocated.
The provinces are indicated as follows: 1. Burgas; 2. Varna; 3. Lovech; 4. Montana; 5. Plovdiv; 6. Razgrad; 7. Sofia City; 8. Sofia Province and 9. Haskovo.
Figure 2.
Phylogenetic relationships and percent frequencies of Y-chromosome haplogroups in each of the former provinces and in Bulgarians as a whole.
The following markers: M2 (within Hg E), M365, M367, M368, M390 (within Hg J), M120, M323 (within Hg Q) and M529 (within Hg R) were typed but not observed.
Figure 3.
Principal components plots based on Y-chromosome haplogroup frequencies.
(A) African and Eurasian populations analyzed at the highest level of phylogenetic resolution, (B) Bulgaria in the European context, at a lower level of phylogenetic resolution, and (C) Bulgaria in the Asian context, based only on informative Asian markers. Data and abbreviations are provided in Tables 2–4. Numbers in brackets indicate the proportion of the total genetic information retained by a given PC. Inset plot illustrates the contribution of each haplogroup.
