The following list of Y-STR markers are commonly used in forensic and genealogical DNA testing.
DYS454 is the least diverse, and multi-copy marker DYS464 is the most diverse Y-STR marker.
The location on the Y-chromosome of numbered Y-STR markers can be roughly given with cytogenetic localization. For example DYS449 is located at Yp11.2 - meaning the Y-chromosome, petit arm, band 1, sub-band 1, sub-sub-band 2 - DYS449. For a nearly complete map of the position of Y-STR markers have a look at Ymap from Family Tree DNA.
Forensic Labs usually use PowerPlex Y (Promega Corporation) and Yfiler (Applied Biosystems) kits that examine 12 or 17 Y-STRs, respectively. Genealogical DNA test labs examine up to 111 Y-STRs.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”

“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.”
