Analysis of Mutation Rate of 17 Y-Chromosome Short Tandem Repeats Loci Using Tanzanian Father-Son Paired Samples

Table 1

Mutation count and Y-STRs loci mutation characteristics events as revealed by direct observation on father-son paired samples of previously confirmed biological relationship.

Sample ID’s	Loci	Repeat	Father’s profile	Son’s; profile	Mutation; characteristics	Mutation count
F/C003	DYS385b	GAAA	16	17	Gain	1
F/C012	DYS385a	AAGG	15	16	Gain	1
F/C074	DYS385a	AAGG	16	15	Loss	1
F/C082	DYS389II	CTGT/CTAT	31	30	Loss	1
