Mutation rate estimates for 110 Y-chromosome STRs combining population and father-son pair data.

Abstract excerpt

Y-chromosome microsatellites (Y-STRs) are typically used for kinship analysis and forensic identification, as well as for inferences on population history and evolution. All applications would greatly benefit from reliable locus-specific mutation rates, to improve forensic probability calculations and interpretations of diversity data. However, estimates of mutation rate from father-son transmissions are...
