Forensic data and microvariant sequence characterization of 27 Y-STR loci analyzed in four Eastern African countries

Highlights • Sequence information regarding microvariants at four Y-STR loci is reported. • Diversity at the palindromic DYF387S1 STR is shaped by non-allelic gene conversion. • An excess of diallelic patterns at RM Y-STRs from cell lines was observed. • Low intra- and high inter-population diversit...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Sequence information regarding microvariants at four Y-STR loci is reported. • Diversity at the palindromic DYF387S1 STR is shaped by non-allelic gene conversion. • An excess of diallelic patterns at RM Y-STRs from cell lines was observed. • Low intra- and high inter-population diversity values are observed. • Ten additional Y-STRs in Yfiler Plus vs. Yfiler resulted in a 15% DC increase.
