Abstract excerpt
A recently developed microsatellite marker on the Y chromosome, Yfm1, which was originally cloned from a cosmid clone mapped near the DAZ (Deleted in AZoospermia) genes, was used to classify Y chromosomes using an automatic sequencer. Yfm1 could detect multicopies on Y chromosomes in a single polymerase chain reaction, showing four main classes, A, A*, B, and C, according to the number of copies and peak...
