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.

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
