The human Y chromosome: function, evolution and disease.

Forensic science international - 15 May 2001

Quintana-Murci L, Krausz C, McElreavey K

Abstract excerpt

The human Y chromosome is strictly paternally inherited and, in most of its length, does not recombine during male meiosis. These features make the Y a very useful genetic marker for different purposes. In the last decade, the Y has been increasingly used to investigate the evolution, migrations and range expansions of modern humans. The possibility to construct highly informative Y chromosome haplotypes has also...
