Article Synopsis
- * Rapidly mutating Y-STRs (RM Y-STRs) have higher mutation rates and can better differentiate male lineages, especially in endogamous groups, than traditional Y-STRs.
- * This study analyzed 861 male pairs from Punjabi endogamous pedigrees, observing varying mutation frequencies, with overall differentiation rates averaging 59.46%, and updated mutation rates for RM Y-STRs based on father-son pair data.
This article details the development of a single multiplex system amplifying 26 rapidly mutating Y-STR markers. A sequenced allelic ladder, constructed for calling alleles of all loci, is introduced. The multiplex system shows the ability to address the limitations of Y-STRs commercial kits in differentiating closely related males.

Tracking the spread of the virus raised a main concern in every country. Many researches proved the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in stool samples of patients, where the genes of this virus gave a positive signal several days prior to the occurrence of symptoms.
