Figure 1.
Repartition of the ethnic groups for which genetic data are available and that have been used in this study.
1 : Merina [5,6]; 2. Sihanaka; 3. Bezanozano; 4. Betsileo [5]; 5. Vezo; 6. Mikea [7]; 7. Antandroy; 8. Antanosy; 9. Antaisaka [6]; 10. Antemoro (this study). Populations from 1 to 4 were grouped in Highlands population.
Figure 2.
Absolute frequency of NRY haplogroups in the Antemoro.
The maximum parsimony phylogeny relating the NRY haplogroups is label with markers that define them.
Figure 3.
Absolute frequency of mitochonfrial haplogroups in the Antemoro.
The maximum parsimony phylogeny relating the mitochondrial haplogroups is label with markers that define them.
Figure 4.
MDS plot computed from FST values between Malagasy populations and the Comoros based on 17 Y-STR data.
Figure 5.
Principal Component Analysis plot computed from NRY haplogroup frequencies of the Antemoro and populations from the database.
The insert showed the contribution of haplogroups to the two components.
Figure 6.
Median-Joining network computed from Y-STR minimal haplotypes (DYS19, DYS389i, DYS389ii, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393) in the Antemoro and populations from various geographic regions belonging to haplogroup J1.
Circles are haplotypes. Sizes of these circles are proportional to haplotype frequency and branch lengths are proportional to number of differences between haplotypes.

Median-Joining network computed from Y-STR minimal haplotypes (DYS19, DYS389i, DYS389ii, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393) in the Antemoro and populations from various geographic regions belonging to haplogroup T.
Circles are haplotypes. Size of these circle are proportional to haplotype frequency and branch lengths are proportional to number of differences between haplotypes.
