Novel Y-STRs with elevated mutation rates further improve male relative differentiation.

Abstract excerpt

Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) with elevated mutation rates are valuable markers for distinguishing male suspects from their paternal male relatives - something that is typically not possible with standard Y-STRs. However, while the 26 rapidly mutating Y-STRs (RM Y-STRs) we identified in our two previous screens substantially improve male relative differentiation compared to standard Y-STRs, many...
