Figure 5 A, Relationship between average repeat count and repeat variance for 65 completely simple Y-chromosomal microsatellites (R=0.595; P<.001). B, Relationship between average repeat count of the longest homogeneous array (which normally is variable) and repeat variance for 104 complex Y-chromosomal microsatellites (R=0.591; P<.001).

Figure 6 A, Comparison between simple and complex microsatellites, grouped according to average total repeat count, and complex microsatellites with the same average repeat count in the longest homogeneous array. B, Comparison between simple microsatellites, grouped according to average total repeat count, and complex microsatellites with the same average total repeat count. For repeat count <7, the average repeat variance was 0 for both simple and complex microsatellites.
