Forensic human identification: Generating Y-STR data for the South African population
… even 887 days after death declaration. This demonstrates that DNA profiling can be successful for decedents and efforts should be made to store DNA profiles for the possibility of familial searching and identification, even after burial. Identification of the multitude of unclaimed bodies at …

Development of Y-STR genotyping systems suitable for sexual assault cases in South Africa
… study was therefore to develop non-commercial Y-STR genotyping systems suitable for sexual assault cases in South Africa. Y-chromosome STR loci constituting the minimal haplotype are still the most widely used loci in investigating sexual assault cases despite the fact that DYS391 and DYS392 have …

The Design And Development Of A Comprehensive 49 Locus Y-str Database For Major U.S. Populations
The establishment of a U.S. National Y-STR reference database from a variety of geographically and ethically diverse populations is essential to facilitate the generation of reliable estimates of Y-STR haplotype frequencies. Such multi-locus haplotype frequencies are required to provide a …

Performance Efficacy Using A Comparison Of Commerical And In-house Y-str Multiplex Systems For Operational Use
… States have the capability of performing Y-STR analysis in casework. In order to aid in facilitating the transfer of Y-STR technology to the crime laboratory community for operational use, a comparison between commercial products from three main vendors (Applied Biosystems AmpFLSTR Yfiler …

The Use of Y-Chromosome Profiles in Forensic Genetics
In forensic science, Y-STR testing is one of the most common tools used to interpret DNA typing results, specifically for human identification purposes (SWGDAM, 2014). With the complexity in DNA samples, not only can they be different from another individual, but each unique haplotype contains …

The analysis of Y chromosome polymorphisms in populations of the United Arab Emirates
… needed to develop a Y Short Tandem Repeat (STR) marker database for three major groups (the UAE Arab, Indian and Pakistani populations) in order to allow the use of Y STRs in forensic case work. This project was designed to develop the Y STR haplotype database using an AmpFtSTR' Y filer® kit …

Finding the "Scot" in the Scottish-American: An Investigation of Scottish Identity through Mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome Markers
… more successful in determining a Scottish ancestry? Of the study's participants, 60 percent shared HVS-I haplotypes with Scotland. However, analyses based on Tajima and Nei's distances indicated that these haplotypes are found throughout Europe due to historical migrations. Seventy-seven …

Development, Validation and Applications of a Novel Multiplex Assay RM-Yplex Amplifying 13 Rapidly Mutating Y Chromosome Short Tandem Repeat Regions
… mutating Y chromosome short tandem repeats (RM Y-STRs) simultaneously was developed and optimised. This multiplex assay which was termed RM-Yplex is the first to include all 13 RM Y-STRs including DYF387S1, DYF399S1, DYF403S1a/b, DYF404S1, DYS449, DYS518, DYS526a/b DYS547, DYS570, DYS576, DYS612, …

The Genetic Structure of the Kuwaiti and Failaka Island Populations: Y-chromosome & Mitochondrial DNA Variation
… dissertation investigated the paternal genetic structure of the Kuwaiti and Failaka Island populations using 15 loci Y-STR data. In addition, the maternal genetic structure of Failaka Island has been investigated using mtDNA HVS-I sequence data. This is the first genetic study to characterize …

Uncovering the variability, regulatory roles and mutation rates of short tandem repeats
… growth in understanding, short tandem repeats (STRs), genomic elements consisting of a repeating pattern of 2-6 bases, have remained poorly understood. Mutating orders of magnitude more rapidly than most of the human genome, STRs have been identified as the causal variants in diseases such as …

Assessing the use of DNA expert evidence, by justice system participants, in Ontario criminal courts
… opening & closing addresses, and judges’ instructions to juries, for cases that have passed through the Ontario criminal courts within the past fifteen years. This project is the first assessment of Canadian criminal court case transcripts, comparing expert DNA evidence with the (largely) …

Using ancient DNA to infer impacts of European colonization on first nations populations in coastal British Columbia, Canada
… by Europeans, forced migrations, and the stress of colonization. Additionally, the PRH population is not only related to these present-day coastal BC First Nations groups, but also to Alaskan Haida and Tlingit Indigenous groups as well. The Y-chromosome population history was also explored …
