Summary

Y-chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) offer a novel forensic tool for stain analysis. This study demonstrates their utility in identifying European haplogroups using SNaPshot and MALDI-TOF MS methods.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic genetics
  • Molecular anthropology
  • Human population genetics

Background:

  • Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are standard in forensic casework for identification.
  • Y-chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) are emerging tools, primarily used in evolutionary studies.
  • Y-SNPs hold potential for forensic applications, particularly in complex sample analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Y-SNP typing for forensic stain analysis.
  • To assess the efficacy of SNaPshot and MALDI-TOF MS methods for Y-SNP analysis.
  • To determine the suitability of selected Y-SNP markers for defining European haplogroups.

Main Methods:

  • Minisequencing-based Y-SNP typing.
  • SNaPshot method for SNP genotyping.

  • Analysis of Y-SNP markers relevant to European populations.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful Y-SNP typing of forensic stains was achieved using both SNaPshot and MALDI-TOF MS.
    • Both methods demonstrated reliability for Y-SNP analysis in forensic contexts.
    • The selected Y-SNP markers effectively differentiated major European haplogroups.

    Conclusions:

    • Y-SNP typing is a viable and powerful tool for forensic stain analysis.
    • SNaPshot and MALDI-TOF MS are suitable methods for forensic Y-SNP genotyping.
    • Y-SNPs provide valuable haplogroup information for forensic investigations, particularly in European populations.
