Abstract excerpt

Several short tandem repeat polymorphism loci at the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome have been described recently and are now widely used for the investigation of the history and the diversity of man. The tetranucleotide repeat polymorphism at the DYS389 locus consists of two repetitive...
