Unweighted pair-group method analysis dendrogram (a branching diagram used to show the relationships between members of a group) based on average taxonomic distance matrices among population means of HapMap SNP datasets. The cluster analysis (CA; constructed from principal components) for the mean of 210 individuals indicates the distance at which the various groups are formed and join together. CA, which is based on the means for all individuals from each geographical origin, was used to obtain similarities among individuals according to their correlation measures across all SNP datasets. Branch height represents dissimilarity. Note that, compared with YRI and CEU branch height, the CHB and JPT branch height is much shorter, representing that the genetic distance between these two populations is relatively close.
