The first rapidly mutating short tandem repeats (RM Y-STRs) were described already a decade ago. This recent publication from our Department describes an effort that was made to identify additional RM Y-STRs, which resulted in a set consisting of 12 such markers. The paper also describes non-intrinsic features that have an impact on Y-STR mutability and makes some preliminary predictions about the value of these news RM Y-STRs to differentiate between close male relatives.
Identification and characterization of novel rapidly mutating Y‐chromosomal short tandem repeat markers Short tandem repeat polymorphisms on the male‐specific part of the human Y‐chromosome (Y‐STRs) are valuable tools in many areas of human genetics. Although their paternal inheritance and moderate mut...
