A Study of Genetic Analysis using Novel Rapidly Mutating Y-STR Multiplex for Qatari population

Differentiating male lineages using non-recombining Y-chromosomal genetic markers is highly informative for tracing human migration and for forensic studies. The aim of this study was to develop allelic frequency to evaluate the resolution power of Rapidly Mutating Y-STR (RMY-STR) on Qatar population in comparison to Worldwide population. In the Qatar population the haplotype resolution of 100% was achieved. The new set of RMY-STR markers showed remarkable haplotype resolution power in the Qatar population, high gene diversity and sufficient robustness.
