Investigation on Rapidly Mutating Y-STRs multiplex in Indian population: A pilot study

Importance of rapidly mutating (RM) Y- STRs) is already established and is evident with the addition of seven RM Y-STR markers in new generation Yfiler Plus (YFP) multiplex system. Performance of the 7 RM Y-STRs included in YFP is evaluated in central Indian population. We also report here a pilot study on genetic polymorphism using 13 Rapidly Mutating Y STRs (RM Y-STR) on Indian population. Forensic parameters including allele frequencies, gene diversities, discrimination capacity and Haplotype diversity will be calculated for both the amplification assays.
