title: Y-Chromosomal STR haplotypes in a population from north west Germany.
abstract: We present a German Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (STR)-haplotype database consisting of the loci DYS19, DXYS156-Y, subtypes of DYS389, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392 and as well as DYS393. 104 haplotypes were observed in 179 unrelated Germans, the haplotype diversity is 98.06%. This database is a prerequisite for the forensic application of these new markers.
