Modified horizontal disk-PAGE effectively types Y-specific short tandem repeat (STR) markers. New primers improve accuracy for larger alleles, offering a simple and consistent method for Y-STR analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Human Population Genetics

Background:

  • Y-specific short tandem repeat (STR) loci are crucial for male lineage tracing and forensic identification.
  • Traditional horizontal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) methods can face challenges with larger STR alleles, impacting accuracy.
  • Existing Y-STR typing methods may require complex procedures or expensive equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize horizontal nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (disk-PAGE) for typing a panel of Y-specific STR loci.
  • To develop modified primers for improved amplification and resolution of larger DYS389 and DYS392 alleles.
  • To establish a simple, accurate, and cost-effective method for Y-STR analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Y-specific STR loci (DYS19, DYS389, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393) using horizontal disk-PAGE.

  • Design and utilization of modified primers to reduce amplified fragment size for challenging loci.
  • Comparison of results with nondenaturing approaches using fluorescent primers and automated sequencing.

    • Main Results:

    • Modified primers enabled accurate typing of larger DYS389 and DYS392 alleles, consistent with automated sequencing.
    • The optimized procedure simplifies allele identification at the duplicated DYS389 locus by amplifying both repeat stretches as a single fragment.
    • Horizontal disk-PAGE with silver staining proved to be a reliable and straightforward method for typing the selected Y-STR markers.

    Conclusions:

    • Horizontal disk-PAGE with modified primers offers a robust and accessible method for Y-STR profiling.
    • This technique provides accurate and consistent results, comparable to more advanced methods.
    • The simplicity and efficiency make it suitable for routine forensic and population genetics studies.
