Forensic validation of Y-chromosome STR polymorphisms in Italy: the GE.F.I. collaborative database
2003
Abstract Haplotype data of 1176 Italian males from 10 regions were obtained as a part of a collaborative validation exercise. Individual data are available at http://www.gefi-forensicDNA.it .
Signature of recent historical events in the European Y-chromosomal STR haplotype distribution
2005
Previous studies of human Y-chromosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) established a link between the extant Y-SNP haplogroup distribution and the prehistoric demography of Europe. By contrast, our analysis of seven rapidly evolving Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat loci (Y-STRs) in over 12,700 samples from 91 different locations in Europe reveals a signature of more recent historic events, not previously detected by other genetic markers. Cluster analysis based upon molecular variance yields two clearly identifiable sub-clusters of Western and Eastern European Y-STR haplotypes, and a diverse transition zone in central Europe, where haplotype spectra change more rapidly with longi…
Y-chromosome haplotypes in Italy: the GEFI collaborative database
2001
Abstract A sample of 1176 males from 10 Italian regions have been typed for DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, and DYS385. Individual haplotype data are available on line. A low degree of variation is present among regions. Use of this database is specifically recommended for forensic applications in Italy.
