Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeat polymorphisms on the male-specific part of the human Y-chromosome (Y-STRs) are valuable tools in many areas of human genetics. Although their paternal inheritance and moderate mutation rate (~10-3 mutations per marker per meiosis) allow detecting paternal relationships, they typically fail to separate male relatives. Previously, we identified 13 Y-STR markers with untypically high mutation...
