Population genetics of 17 Y-STR markers in West Libya (Tripoli region)

Abstract Seventeen Y-chromosomal Short Tandem Repeats (Y-STR) included in the AmpF l STR Y-filer PCR Amplification kit (Applied Biosystems) (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385ab, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635 and GATA H4) were genotyped in a pop...

Summary:Abstract Seventeen Y-chromosomal Short Tandem Repeats (Y-STR) included in the AmpF l STR Y-filer PCR Amplification kit (Applied Biosystems) (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385ab, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635 and GATA H4) were genotyped in a population sample of 176 unrelated males from western Libya (Tripoli region). A total of 142 different haplotypes were found, 124 being unique. Haplotype diversity was 0.9950. Both RST pairwise analyses and multidimensional scaling plot show a close genetic relationship between Tripoli and North African populations.
