Haplotypic polymorphisms and mutation rate estimates of 22 Y-chromosome STRs in the Northern Chinese Han father–son pairs

Abstract Y chromosome Short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) analysis has been widely used in forensic identification, kinship testing, and population evolution. An accurate understanding of haplotype and mutation rate will benefit these applications. In this work, we analyzed 1123 male samples from Northern...
