Toward male individualization with rapidly mutating y‐chromosomal short tandem ...
Ballantyne, Kaye N.; Ralf, Arwin; Aboukhalid, Rachid; Achakzai, Niaz M.; Anjos, Maria J.; Ayub, Qasim; Balažic, Jože; Ballantyne, JackRelevant for various areas of human genetics, Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are com monly used for testing close paternal relationships among individuals and populations, and for male lineage iden tification. However, even the widely used 17-loci Yfiler set cannot resolve individuals and populations completely. Here, 52 centers generated quality-controlled data of 13 rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STRs i...

Gusmão, Leonor; Sánchez-Diz, Paula; Alves, Cíntia; Gomes, Iva; Zarrabeitia, María Teresa; Abovich, Mariel; Atmetlla, Ivannia; Bobillo, CeciliaIn a collaborative work carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese ISFG Working Group (GEP-ISFG), a polymerase chain reaction multiplex was optimized in order to type ten X-chromosome short tandem repeats (STRs) in a single reaction, including: DXS8378, DXS9902, DXS7132, DXS9898, DXS6809, DXS6789, DXS7133, GATA172D05, GATA31E08, and DXS7423. Using this X-decaplex, each 17 of the participating laboratories typed ...
