“…The conclusions of that study were very similar to those obtained here, thus reinforcing the obtained outcomes. Additionally, Olofsson et al compared the forensic parameters of the Yfiler ® Plus and Yfiler™ kits on a population of Danes, Greenlanders, and Somalis and obtained similar results to those in this article. They stated that the Yfiler ® Plus kit had a higher power of discrimination, which is an advantage in forensic investigations.…”

“…Currently, some Y‐STR‐specific kits are being improved to provide complete profiles, namely the Yfiler ® Plus PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA) and the PowerPlex ® Y23 System (Promega ® , Madison, WI), hereafter called Yfiler ® Plus and PowerPlex Y23 ® , respectively. The Yfiler ® Plus kit simultaneously targets 27 markers on the Y chromosome (e.g.…”

Biological evidence of sexual assault is one of the most difficult sample types to analyze in forensic laboratories. Y-STR markers are thus a valuable tool for analyzing these samples. The aim of this project was to compare three Y-STR commercial kits by analyzing their amplification performance on casework samples. Overall, 247 trace samples were analyzed with a Yfiler Plus PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems), PowerPlex Y23 (Promega ) System and AmpFLSTR Yfiler™ PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems). Comparing the amplification performance of the three kits, the first two were significantly more sensitive than the latter (p < 0.001). For samples, with a male DNA quantity less than 0.5 ng, the PowerPlex Y23 kit was the most sensitive and best performing kit, followed by the Yfiler Plus kit (p = 0.009). In conclusion, the Yfiler Plus and PowerPlex Y-23 kits are viable alternatives to older kits for samples with low amounts of male DNA.

In this study, we analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of 23 Y-STR loci from PowerPlex® Y23 system in 916 unrelated healthy male individuals from Chinese Jiangsu Han, and observed 912 different haplotypes including 908 unique haplotypes and 4 duplicate haplotypes. The haplotype diversity reached 0.99999 and the discrimination capacity and match probability were 0.9956 and 0.0011, respectively. The gene diversity values ranged from 0.3942 at DYS438 to 0.9607 at DYS385a/b. Population differentiation within 10 Jiangsu Han subpopulations were evaluated by RST values and visualized in Neighbor-Joining trees and Multi-Dimensional Scaling plots as well as population relationships between the Jiangsu Han population and other 18 Eastern Asian populations. Such results indicated that the 23 Y-STR loci were highly polymorphic in Jiangsu Han population and played crucial roles in forensic application as well as population genetics. For the first time, we reported the genetic diversity of male lineages in Jiangsu Han population at a high-resolution level of 23 Y-STR set and consequently contributed to familial searching, offender tracking, and anthropology analysis of Jiangsu Han population.

“…Only a few population data of 27 Yfiler  Plus loci have been reported and estimated mutation rates have not been published [9,10]. The aim of this study was, for the first time, to provide Y-chromosomal haplotype data and reliable estimates of mutation rates for the 27 Y-STR loci in a Han population from Guangdong Province, Southern China.…”
