Article Synopsis
- Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are used to test paternal relationships and identify male lineage, but the standard Yfiler set has limitations.
- A study involving 52 centers analyzed 13 rapidly mutating Y-STRs in 14,644 males from 111 populations, leading to over 99% successful individual identification.
- The results showed extremely high haplotype diversity, minimal sharing among populations, and significant improvements in relationship differentiation when using RM Y-STRs compared to traditional methods.
In an effort to facilitate forensic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing in Morocco, high-quality control region sequences from 509 individuals were generated using a comprehensive processing and data review system. This large dataset of random samples from various Moroccan population groups (Arab speaking, Berber speaking, and Sahrawi speaking) exhibited a low random match probability (0.52 %) and a mean of pairwise comparisons of 13.
