Abstract excerpt
To investigate the utility of Y chromosome microsatellites for studying human male-lineage evolution, we typed samples from three populations for five tetranucleotide repeats and an Alu insertion polymorphism. We found very high levels of haplotype diversity and evidence that most mutations involve the gain or loss of only one repeat unit, implying that any given microsatellite haplotype may have arisen...
