Three hypervariable Y chromosome DNA loci have been analyzed in human males. The
haplotypes defined allow paternal lineages to be identified. Most of these lineages fall into …

We characterized four DNA polymorphisms on the Y chromosomes of 123 males from five
Caucasian populations. Three markers on the male specific portion of the chromosome …

A collection of polymorphic DNA sequences has been used to analyse the variability of a
panel of 91 Y chromosomes. Some sequences (DYZ1 and DYZ2) were highly polymorphic …

Y-chromosomal DNA lineages can be used to trace the origins of males in modern
populations. A combination of biallelic markers has been used to identify “haplogroup 3” Y …

Y-chromosomal DNA haplotypes were determined in 74 infertile and 216 control Italian
males using eight biallelic markers. A significant difference in haplotype frequency was …

Despite its central role in sex determination, genetic analysis of the Y chromosome has been
slow. This poor progress has been due to the paucity of available genetic markers. Whereas …

It should be possible to use Y chromosome DNA polymorphisms to trace paternal lineages
for evolutionary and other studies, but progress in these areas has been slow because it has …

We investigated Y chromosomal binary and STR polymorphisms in 263 unrelated male
individuals from the Japanese population and further examined the relationships between …

We surveyed nine diallelic polymorphic sites on the Y chromosomes of 1,544 individuals
from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the New World. Phylogenetic analyses of these nine …

The human Y chromosome is poor in conventional DNA polymorphisms, and this has
hindered studies of the paternal lineage. However, three large hypervariable arrays exist …
