title: Identification and characterization of two novel human polymorphic STRs on the Y chromosome.
abstract: From sequence database information, we have identified two male-specific and polymorphic tetranucleotide STRs, DYS 441 (GDB:10013873) and DYS 442 (GDB: 10030304), on the Y chromosome. Analysis of 184 males allowed 7 and 5 alleles to be distinguished in the DYS 441 and DYS 442 systems, respectively, yielding 21 haplotypes. The gene diversities were 0.72 and 0.51, respectively and the haplotype diversity was 0.85.
