Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are being employed for phylogenetic and evolutionary studies as well as for forensic applications. Precise knowledge of mutation types and rates is essential and has hitherto been obtained from computer simulation or small-sized father/son pairs, or derived from the more intensively studied autosomal STRs, respectively. To establish more accurate values we...
