Abstract:
Twelve Y-STRs loci including minimal haplotypes (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, and DYS385a,b) and three additional loci, namely DYS437, DYS438 and DYS439 were co-amplified in 138 healthy unrelated males of Chinese Naxi ethnic minority group using the PowerPlex Y System. A total of 113 haplotypes were identified, among which 103 were unique, and 6, 2, 1 and 1 were found in 2, 4, 5 and 10 individuals, respectively. The haplotype diversity for 12 Y-STRs loci was 0.9923.The results from the present study can be used in forensic application and population genetics in the region, and can enrich Chinese ethnical genetic informational resources.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
