Founders, drift, and infidelity: the relationship between Y chromosome diversity and patrilineal surnames.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2009

King Turi E, Jobling Mark A

Abstract excerpt

Most heritable surnames, like Y chromosomes, are passed from father to son. These unique cultural markers of coancestry might therefore have a genetic correlate in shared Y chromosome types among men sharing surnames, although the link could be affected by mutation, multiple foundation for names, nonpaternity, and genetic drift. Here, we demonstrate through an analysis of 1,678 Y-chromosomal haplotypes within 40...
