[Genetic Polymorphisms of 24 Y-STR Loci in Nanjing Han Population]
Objectives:
To investigate the genetic polymorphism of DYS391 and other 23 Y-STR loci and to explore its application value in forensic science.
Methods:
Y-STRs loci of 580 unrelated Han males in Nanjing were amplified using AGCU Y-PLUS PCR (24) kit. The genetic parameters of 24 Y-STR loci such as gene frequency were calculated by software, and compared with the data of Hubei, Liao- ning, Guangdong, Beijing and Chengdu Han population.
Results:
Total 580 haplotypes were detected among 24 Y-STR loci in 580 unrelated Han males in Nanjing. The genetic diversity (GD) of each locus was from 0.294 6 to 0.939 8, and the haplotypes diversity (HD) was 0.983 7. There was a significant difference between the GD of 6 areas.
Conclusions:
The 24 Y-STR loci such as DYS391 in Nanjing Han population have an application value in forensic science. They can also be used for cases testing and pedigree investigation.

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%...
