[edit] Notes

The table is very good as idea, and the effort was great, but there are some notes:

1- It must be in alphabet, because it is diffecult to search, sometimes you need to read all the table to find the country you search, or did not find it.

2- The results are not clear, if it is number or percentage.

[edit] I don't understand...

I think the same, the table is not clear at all —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.20.2.116 (talk) 11:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

you can click on the top row to sort by column. "n" means number, the number following "n" is a percentage (self-explanatory, I think). --dab (𒁳) 17:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, "n" means the Total Sample studed in particular haplo. Sasha l (talk) 17:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heading

The heading as it was made the table incredibly hard to read --- the best option would be to have a double heading with merged cells, but I don't know if this is possible with the current template. Anyway, I think my edit is less compact, but much easier to interpret. SaintCahier (talk) 15:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

It would be better to clarify if — means 0, almost 0 or N/A. SaintCahier (talk) 15:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

"-" in most cases means N/A. "0" ussually means "0" Sasha l (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] sorting

the sorting is alphabetical, i.e. "8" is listed before "40". Can this be fixed in the table code? Or should we introduce leading zeroes to avoid the effect? dab (𒁳) 17:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mordvins from Tambets et al. (2004)

Volga-Ural region:

                         n  I    R1b  R1a  N3   N2  Q C
            Mordvin U-FU 83 19.3 13.3 26.5 16.9 2.4 0 0 Present study

Adding the N2 (now N1b) and N3 (now N1c) data results in a frequency of 19.3% haplogroup N for this sample of Mordvins.

Unfortunately, the authors did not provide detailed information about their Mordvin and other non-Saami samples:

Subjects and Methods Population samples Y-chromosomal markers were also analyzed from 32 different populations. Data from 1,598 of a total of 2,967 individuals reported in table 3 were taken from published sources, whereas the remaining 1,369 DNA samples were extracted and analyzed in the present study. Further details about the populations other than the Saami will be published elsewhere. Blood samples were collected from healthy unrelated individuals after obtaining informed consent. DNA was extracted using the phenol-chloroform method, as used by Sambrook (1989).
