Forensic applications of Y chromosomal properties

- Y chromosome mode of inheritance is uniparental and does not undergo recombination.
- Uniparental property - used in personal identification and evolutionary studies.
- Limitations - rapid mutation and few loci are used in profile generation.
- Combinatory approach i.e. autosomal STR/Y-STR genotyping as possible solution.
- The experimental outcomes of MPS are proven cost, money and time effective.
