Dissecting the Finnish male uniformity: The value of additional Y-STR loci

RETRACTED: Comprehensive genetic structure analysis of Han population from Dalian City revealed by 20 Y‐STRs

“…Y chromosomal STRs are widely used for sexual assault cases, paternity testing, reconstruction of human population history (Adnan et al, 2018), and missing person investigations (Adnan, Ralf, Rakha, Kousouri, & Kayser, 2016) because of its male inheritance (Rakha et al, 2018). Some previous studies have confirmed the resolution of male lineage differentiations can be improved by carefully adding Y-STRs to currently available Y-STRs set, such as Y-filer (Hanson & Ballantyne, 2004, 2007Hedman, Neuvonen, Sajantila, & Palo, 2011;Rodig et al, 2008). A recently developed Goldeneye ® 20Y kit amplification kit (Goldeneye technology Ltd.) can be used to co-amplify 20 Y-STR loci (DYS19, DYS348, DYS385a/b, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS439, DYS447, DYS448, DYS458, DYS460, DYS635, Y-GATA-H4, DYS391, and DYS456) with five dyes (Gao et al, 2017).…”

The Y-STR Genetic Diversity of an Idaho Basque Population, with Comparison to European Basques and US Caucasians

“…For example, in a report of Finnish paternal lineages using 16 Y-STR loci, the 10 most polymorphic loci were discovered to be sufficient to capture most of the diversity (Hedman et al 2004). A follow-up study (Hedman et al 2011) revealed that the addition of seven other highly polymorphic loci was able to give unique haplotypes for a set of 53 males who had appeared identical when typed with the 9 locus "minimal haplotype." The Yfiler results as used in this study would have divided these 53 males into 16 haplotypes.…”

“…Additional Y-STR markers should be incorporated (e.g., the seven used in Hedman et al 2011), as well as phylogenetically informative SNPs, which would allow the immigrant lineages to be placed into the broader phylogeographic history of Y-chromosomes in Europe, and could shed light on both the recent and ancient origins of such lineages.…”

A Case of Amelogenin Y-null: A simple primer binding site mutation or unusual genetic anomaly?

“…Finally, the sample was analyzed with the Prototype PowerPlex Ò Y23 System (Promega Corp.) using the manufacturer's recommendations and the Y multiplex described by Hedman et al [1]. …”
