Abstract.

We describe an integrated approach to the determination of complex Y chromosome haplotypes that is both fast and relatively inexpensive. The method employs GeneScan technology to enable a researcher to assay repeat number variation at ten microsatellite loci and determine the status of 11 diallelic polymorphisms. The method requires only four PCRs and four GeneScan runs per sample and is relatively insensitive to sample DNA concentration.
