Abstract excerpt
The Y-chromosome is a powerful tool for population geneticists to study human evolutionary history. Haploid and largely non-recombining, it should contain a simple record of past mutational events. However, this apparent simplicity is compromised by Y-linked duplicons, which make up approximately 35% of this chromosome; 25% of these duplicons are large inverted repeats (palindromes). For microsatellites lying in...
