Population-Scale Sequencing Data Enable Precise Estimates of Y-STR Mutation Rates.

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are mutation-prone loci that span nearly 1% of the human genome. Previous studies have estimated the mutation rates of highly polymorphic STRs by using capillary electrophoresis and pedigree-based designs. Although this work has provided insights into the mutational dynamics of highly mutable STRs, the mutation rates of most others remain unknown. Here, we harnessed ...

Chromosome-wide characterization of Y-STR mutation rates using ultra-deep genealogies

Although the utility of short tandem repeats on the Y-chromosome (Y-STRs) has long been recognized and leveraged in forensics, genealogy and paternity testing, the bulk of these applications have relied on only a few dozen loci identified as having remarkably high mutation rates. Recent efforts have expanded the set of Y-STRs with known mutation rates to two hundred markers, but the limited thr...

Maximum likelihood estimation of locus-specific mutation rates in Y-chromosome short tandem repeats

MOTIVATION Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are widely used for population studies, forensic purposes and, potentially, the study of disease, therefore knowledge of their mutation rate is valuable. Here we show a novel method for estimation of site-specific Y-STR mutation rates from partial phylogenetic information, via the maximum likelihood framework. RESULTS Given Y-STR data clas...

Precision and accuracy of divergence time estimates from STR and SNPSTR variation.

Inference of intraspecific population divergence patterns typically requires genetic data for molecular markers with relatively high mutation rates. Microsatellites, or short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms, have proven informative in many such investigations. These markers are characterized, however, by high levels of homoplasy and varying mutational properties, often leading to inaccurate i...

Comparison of Y-chromosomal lineage dating using either evolutionary or genealogical Y-STR mutation rates

We have compared the Y chromosomal lineage dating between sequence data and commonly used Y-SNP plus Y-STR data. The coalescent times estimated using evolutionary Y-STR mutation rates correspond best with sequence-based dating when the lineages include the most ancient haplogroup A individuals. However, the times using slow mutated STR markers with genealogical rates fit well with sequence-base...
