ystr_markers

Format

A data frame with 29 rows and 5 variables:

Marker

name of Y-STR marker

Meioses

number of meioses observed

Mutations

number of mutations observed in the corresponding number of Meioses

Details

Note, that loci with duplications (DYS385a/b as well as DYF387S1a/b have been split into two loci).
