Abstract excerpt
The Y-specific locus MSY1 is the only known haploid minisatellite, and displays an extremely high degree of structural diversity which can be assayed by minisatellite variant repeat PCR (MVR-PCR). One group of alleles, in an African-specific class of Y chromosomes (haplogroup 8), behaves unusually in the conventional MVR-PCR assay, and sequencing demonstrates that this is because repeat units in these alleles...
