Haplogroup Prediction from Y-STR Values Using a Bayesian-Allele- Frequency Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
A new Bayesian allele-frequency approach to predicting the Y-chromosome haplogroup from a set of Y-STR marker values is presented and compared to other approaches. The method has been implemented in an Excel-based program, where an arbitrary number of STR markers may be input and a “goodness of fit” score for 15 haplogroups (C, E3a, E3b, G, H, I1a, I1b1, I1b2, J, L, N, O, Q, R1a, and R1b) and the Bayesian probability for each haplogroup is returned. This method has been applied to 100 R1b haplotypes, 50 I1a haplotypes (all having 37 STR markers available), and 54 of the YCC sample set (having 20 STR markers available).

متن کاملY-Chromosome Haplogroups in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Population Based on 23 Y-STR Loci.
In a study of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian (B&H) population, Y-chromosome marker frequencies for 100 individuals, generated using the PowerPlex Y23 kit, were used to perform Y-chromosome haplogroup assignment via Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor. This algorithm determines Y-chromosome haplogroups from Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (Y-STR) data using a Bayesian probability-based approach. The m...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of 7 medieval skeletons from Aragonese Pyrenees
AIM To perform a genetic characterization of 7 skeletons from medieval age found in a burial site in the Aragonese Pyrenees. METHODS Allele frequencies of autosomal short tandem repeats (STR) loci were determined by 3 different STR systems. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome haplogroups were determined by sequencing of the hypervariable segment 1 of mtDNA and typing of phylogenetic Y ...
متن کاملCentre-Based Hard and Soft Clustering Approaches for Y-STR Data
This paper presents Centre-based clustering approaches for clustering Y-STR data. The main goal is to investigate and observe the performance of the fundamental clustering approaches when partitioning Y-STR data. Two fundamental Centre-based hard clustering approaches, k-Means and k-Modes algorithms, and two fundamental Centre-based soft clustering approaches, fuzzy k-Means and fuzzy k-Modes al...
متن کاملY-chromosome short tandem repeat intermediate variant alleles DYS392.2, DYS449.2, and DYS385.2 delineate new phylogenetic substructure in human Y-chromosome haplogroup tree.
AIM To determine the human Y-chromosome haplogroup backgrounds of intermediate-sized variant alleles displayed by short tandem repeat (STR) loci DYS392, DYS449, and DYS385, and to evaluate the potential of each intermediate variant to elucidate new phylogenetic substructure within the human Y-chromosome haplogroup tree. METHODS Molecular characterization of lineages was achieved using a combi...
