The Y chromosome is currently by far the most popular marker in genetic genealogy that
combines genetic data and family history. This popularity is based on its haploid character …

The Y chromosome has been widely explored for the study of human migrations. Due to its
paternal inheritance, the Y chromosome polymorphisms are helpful tools for understanding …

During the last few decades, a wealth of studies dedicated to the human Y chromosome and
its DNA variation, in particular Y‐chromosome single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (Y‐SNP s) …

Recent evidence suggests that seeking out extra-pair paternity (EPP) can be a viable
alternative reproductive strategy for both males and females in many pair-bonded species …

Haplogroup E, defined by mutation M40, is the most common human Y chromosome clade
within Africa. To increase the level of resolution of haplogroup E, we disclosed the …

Background Due to the rapid progress of next-generation sequencing (NGS) facilities, an
explosion of human whole genome data will become available in the coming years. These …

Objective Evolutionary theory has shown that seeking out extrapair paternity (EPP) can be a
viable reproductive strategy for both sexes in pair‐bonded species, also in humans. As yet …

Y‐chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y‐STRs) are often used in addition to Y‐
chromosomal single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (Y‐SNP) to detect subtle patterns in a …

In this article, we promote the implementation of extensive genealogical data in population
genetic studies. Genealogical records can provide valuable information on the origin of DNA …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are two kinds of
commonly used markers in Y chromosome studies of forensic and population genetics …
