Abstract
After initially slow progress in identifying DNA polymorphisms on the non recombining part of the human Y chromosome, a large number of polymorphic markers are now available to define individual or population-specific haplotypes or haplogroups. Among them the Y-chromosomal STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) have been increasingly used over the past few years for the study of human evolution as well as for human identification in forensic case-work and paternity testing. After a brief summary of the features of such markers, this paper deals with some applications of the Y-STR haplotyping.
