Abstract:
X-chromosome markers are informative tool for studying of the genetic diversity in human populations and become useful for DNA identification when certain complex kinship cases need to be unraveled. In this work, we present population genetic data of 10 X-chromosome STRs (DXS8378, DXS9898, DXS8377, HPRTB, GATA172D05, DXS7423, DXS6809, DXS7132, DXS101 and DXS6789). Average level of expected heterozygosity (He) in populations under study was 0.73. Total level of genetic differentiation for 10 studied populations was relatively low (Fst = 0.031 comparing to autosomal and Y-chromosomal markers. Allele frequencies and parameters of forensic interest for panel of X-STRs were calculated. The overall values of PDf and PDm are 0.9999999997, 0.999998 respectively. The overall level of genetic differentiation for 10 population (Fst) is 0.03186.

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%...

Evolution
Around 300 million years ago, the two sex chromosomes diverged from two identical autosomal chromosomes. Over time, the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes, shrinking in size....
