Except for Yami and Ivatan all data is obtained from (Trejaut et al. material in preparation). Taiwanese includes Minnan and Hakka (these groups are not differentiable using the exact test of population differentiation test (Arlequin Package [55]).
# No Ivatan included; NA = not applicable
x after an SNP marker indicates this SNP was ancestral (no other derived SNPs were seen).
x before an SNP indicate this SNP was not present.
