Abstract excerpt
Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) with high mutation rates are recognized as valuable genetic markers for differentiating paternally related men, who typically cannot be separated with standard Y-STRs, and were shown to provide paternal lineage differentiation on a higher resolution level than standard Y-STRs. Both features make Y-STRs with high mutation rates relevant in criminal casework, particularly...
