title: Y-chromosome STR haplotypes and alleles in the population sample of Old Believers residing in the Northeastern Poland.
abstract: Haplotype and allele frequencies for eight Y-STRs were determined in a population sample of Old Believers residing in the Northeastern Poland. A total of 127 unrelated males produced 100 different haplotypes. The most common haplotype was shared by 3.97% of the sample, while 85 haplotypes were unique. The gene diversity was 0.99.
