Mg. Thomas et al., High throughput analysis of 10 microsatellite and 11 diallelic polymorphisms on the human Y-chromosome, HUM GENET, 105(6), 1999, pp. 577-581
We describe an integrated approach to the determination of complex Y chromo
some haplotypes that is both fast and relatively inexpensive. The method em
ploys GeneScan technology to enable a researcher to assay repeat number var
iation at ten microsatellite loci and determine the status of 11 diallelic
polymorphisms. The method requires only four PCRs and four GeneScan runs pe
r sample and is relatively insensitive to sample DNA concentration.
