20110263437 | Analysis of Y-Chromosome STR Markers - The methods and compositions provided herein relate to the discovery of 13 STR are markers found on the human Y chromosome with surprisingly high mutation rates when compared with 173 other Y-STR markers known today, including those that are in common use in forensics. In addition to theoretical expectations based on elevated mutation rates, these 13 rapidly-mutating (RM) Y-STRs proved to be suitable for differentiating between closely related males, as well as between more distant male relatives and much more so than the most-commonly used Y-STRs in forensics. Our new set of RM-Y-STRs is expected to overcome the current dilemma of Y-chromosome analysis in forensic applications from current male lineage identification towards male individual identification in many cases, due to their extraordinary mutation properties as discovered here. Embodiments of the invention include methods for allelic determination of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers, amplification primers for the analysis of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers, allelic ladders for analysis of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers, and kits for the analysis of rapidly-mutating Y-STR markers. | 10-27-2011 |
