  • Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat markers for typing male individuals
    Patent number: 12637721
    Abstract: The invention relates to a group of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) markers comprising at least one rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STR marker selected from the group consisting of DYF1000, DYF1001, DYF1002, DYR88, DYS685, DYS688, DYS712, DYS1003, DYS1007, DYS1010 and DYS1012. The invention further relates to a set of amplification primers comprising primers for the amplification of at least one Y-STR marker according to the invention, to methods for amplifying an allele of at least one Y-STR marker, to a kit for identifying an allele of a Y-STR marker by amplification and electrophoretic detection or sequencing detection, and by sequencing of non-amplified DNA, and to the use of the group of Y-STR markers for typing male individuals.
