Nonrecombining Y-chromosomal microsatellites (Y-STRs) are widely used to infer
population histories, discover genealogical relationships, and identify males for criminal …

A number of applications of analysis of human Y-chromosome microsatellite loci to human
evolution and forensic science require reliable estimates of the mutation rate and knowledge …

Y-chromosome microsatellites (Y-STRs) are typically used for kinship analysis and forensic
identification, as well as for inferences on population history and evolution. All applications …

The panels of 9–17 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) currently used in
forensic genetics have adequate resolution of different paternal lineages in many human …

We have screened the nearly complete DNA sequence of the human Y chromosome for
microsatellites (short tandem repeats) that meet the criteria of having a repeat-unit size of⩾ 3 …

Precise estimates of mutation rates at Y‐chromosomal microsatellite STR (short tandem
repeat) loci make an important basis for paternity diagnostics and dating of Y chromosome …

Short tandem repeat polymorphisms on the male‐specific part of the human Y‐chromosome
(Y‐STRs) are valuable tools in many areas of human genetics. Although their paternal …

By means of a multicenter study, a large number of males have been characterized for Y-
chromosome specific short tandem repeats (STRs) or microsatellites. A complete summary …

Recently, a set of highly polymorphic chromosome Y specific microsatellites became
available for forensic, population genetic and evolutionary studies. However, the lack of a …

Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (Y-STR) markers are being used as potential tools for
