In the present study, 67 individuals from two families were analyzed to explore the efficacy of
the ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep Kit for pairwise kinship analysis. Six types of pairwise …

By using the recently introduced 6-dye Yfiler® Plus multiplex, we analyzed 462 males
belonging to 20 ethnic groups from four eastern African countries (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti …

The discovery of rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STRs started to move the field of forensic Y-STR
analysis from male lineage identification towards male individual identification. Previously …

Abstract Microsatellites, or Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), are subject to frequent length
mutations that involve the loss or gain of an integer number of repeats. This work aimed to …

The identification of historical military remains by Unrecovered War Casualties-Army (UWC-
A) currently relies on Y-chromosome Short Tandem Repeat (Y-STR) testing when maternal …

China has repeatedly been the subject of genetic studies to elucidate its prehistoric and
historic demography. While some studies reported a genetic distinction between Northern …

A total of 2 548 unrelated healthy father–son pairs from a Northern Han Chinese population
were genotyped at 41 Y chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STRs) including DYS19 …

Invasive prenatal paternity tests can result in miscarriage and congenital malformations;
therefore, a non-invasive method of testing is preferable. However, little progress could be …

The Y‐STR landscape of Coastal Southeastern Han (CSEH) living in Chinese southeast
areas (including Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces) is still unclear. We …

Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have been widely used in forensic genetics,
and accurate knowledge of mutation rates at Y-STR loci is essential in kinship analysis. The …
