Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) are valuable genetic markers used for individual identification, forensic applications, and the study of paternal lineage history. This study analyzed the genetic polymorphism and paternal genetic structure of th...
