Y-chromosomal SNP haplotype diversity in forensic analysis

Abstract 

Many Y-chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are now available. The haplogroups which they define are highly non-randomly distributed among populations, and could contribute much to population-of-origin prediction from DNA. If this potential is to be exploited in forensic analysis, high-throughput, parallel methods are required for Y-SNP typing.
