According to a triple analysis – [[autosome|autosomal]], [[mitochondrial]] and [[Y-DNA|paternal]] — of available data from large-scale studies on [[Balto-Slavs]] and their proximal populations, the whole genome [[Single nucleotide polymorphism|SNP]] data situates Serbs with Montenegrins in between two Balkan clusters.<ref name=pmid26332464>{{cite journal |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0135820 |pmid=26332464 |pmc=4558026 |title=Genetic Heritage of the Balto-Slavic Speaking Populations: A Synthesis of Autosomal, Mitochondrial and Y-Chromosomal Data |journal=PLOS ONE |volume=10 |issue=9 |pages=e0135820 |year=2015 |last1=Kushniarevich|first1=Alena|display-authors=etal|bibcode=2015PLoSO..1035820K |doi-access=free }}</ref> Y-DNA results show that haplogroups [[Haplogroup I2a|I2a]] and [[Haplogroup R1a|R1a]] together stand for the majority of the makeup, with more than 50 percent.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kačar T, Stamenković G, Blagojević J, Krtinić J, Mijović D, Marjanović D | title = Y chromosome genetic data defined by 23 short tandem repeats in a Serbian population on the Balkan Peninsula | journal = Annals of Human Biology | volume = 46 | issue = 1 | pages = 77–83 | date = February 2019 | pmid = 30829546 | doi = 10.1080/03014460.2019.1584242 | ref = {{harvid|Kačar et al.|2019}} | s2cid = 73515853 | url = https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Y_chromosome_genetic_data_defined_by_23_short_tandem_repeats_in_a_Serbian_population_on_the_Balkan_Peninsula/7798268}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Mihajlovic |first1=Milica |last2=Tanasic |first2=Vanja |last3=Markovic |first3=Milica Keckarevic |last4=Kecmanovic |first4=Miljana |last5=Keckarevic |first5=Dusan |date=2022-11-01 |title=Distribution of Y-chromosome haplogroups in Serbian population groups originating from historically and geographically significant distinct parts of the Balkan Peninsula |url=https://www.fsigenetics.com/article/S1872-4973(22)00108-9/abstract |journal=Forensic Science International: Genetics |language=English |volume=61 |page=102767 |doi=10.1016/j.fsigen.2022.102767 |issn=1872-4973 |pmid=36037736|s2cid=251658864 }}</ref>
