The Y chromosome behaves as a single locus. Its genetic information is useful in forensic casework, deficiency kinship testing, and population genetics studies. Continuous increases of loci number within commercial kits ...

The X chromosome is a singular source of information in population genetics, anthropological research and in forensic cases. Thus, many researchers have been interested in characterizing X chromosome markers in different ...

We analyzed 23 Y-STR haplotypes of 139 unrelated males from Central Argentine Patagonia. A total of 133 different haplotypes (127 singletons) were observed. Haplotype diversity was similar to that previously observed in ...

This paper shows that the population studied in the most populated departments of Paraguay does not present significant population substructure among the different geographical locations sampled, allowing the use of these ...

Studies with X-STR loci show population genetic substructure, which makes necessary the characterization of such markers in the different geographical and/or ethnic populations. Therefore, this study assessed the distribution ...

Y-STR markers, namely YHRD minimal haplotype with additional DYS437, DYS438, and DYS439 markers, were investigated in a set of 236 samples of individuals belonging to Mataco–Guaycurú speaking tribes, inhabiting communities ...

Human population have a significant number of polymorphic loci, whose use and applications range from construction of linkage maps, to study the evolution of populations, through the determination of paternity, forensic ...

Introducción: La tipificación molecular de ADN de cromosoma-Y es una herramienta de reconocida importancia en el proceso de identificación de individuos de género masculino en diversos casos forenses. Actualmente es una ...
