Abstract
In the past two decades, Y chromosome data has been generated for human population genetic studies. These Y chromosome datasets were produced with various testing methods and markers, thus difficult to combine them for a comprehensive analysis. In this study, we combine four human Y chromosomal datasets of Han, Tibetan, Hui, and Li ethnic groups. The dataset contains 27 microsatellites and 137 single nucleotide polymorphisms these populations share in common. We assembled a single dataset containing 2439 individuals from 25 nationwide populations in China. A systematic analysis of genetic distance and clustering was performed. To determine the gene flow of the studied population with worldwide populations, we modeled the ancestry informative markers. The reference panel was regarded as a mixture of South Asian (SAS), East Asian (EAS), European (EUR), African (AFR), and American (AMR) populations from 1000 Genomes data of Y chromosome using nonlinear data-fitting. We then calculated the admixture proportion of these four studied populations with 26 worldwide populations. The results showed that the Han and Hui have great genetic affinity, and Hui is the most admixed ethnic group, with 61.53% EAS, 34.65% SAS, 1.91% AFR, 1.56% AMR, and 0.04% EUR ancestry component (the AMR is highly admixed and thus should be ignored). All the other three ethnic groups contained more than 97% EAS ancestry component. The Li is the least admixed population in this study. The combined dataset in this study is the largest of this kind reported to date and proposes reference population data for use in future paternal genetic studies and forensic genealogical identification.

Methodology for Y Chromosome Capture: A complete genome sequence of Y chromosome using flow cytometry, laser microdissection and magnetic streptavidin-beads. Sci Rep 2018; 8:9436. [PMID: 29930304 PMCID: PMC6013464 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-27819-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2017] [Accepted: 06/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
This study is a comparison of the efficiency of three technologies used for Y chromosome capture and the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies applied for determining its whole sequence. Our main findings disclose that streptavidin-biotin magnetic particle-based capture methodology offers better and a deeper sequence coverage for Y chromosome capture, compared to chromosome sorting and microdissection procedures. Moreover, this methodology is less time consuming and the most selective for capturing only Y chromosomal material, in contrast with other methodologies that result in considerable background material from other, non-targeted chromosomes. NGS results compared between two platforms, NextSeq 500 and SOLID 5500xl, produce the same coverage results. This is the first study to explore a methodological comparison of Y chromosome capture and genetic analysis. Our results indicate an improved strategy for Y chromosome research with applications in several scientific fields where this chromosome plays an important role, such as forensics, medical sciences, molecular anthropology and cancer sciences.

Abstract
Interpreting mixed DNA samples containing material from multiple contributors has long been considered a major challenge in forensic casework, especially when encountering low-template DNA (LT-DNA) or high-order mixtures that may involve missing alleles (dropout) and unrelated alleles (drop-in), among others. In the last decades, extraordinary progress has been made in the analysis of mixed DNA samples, which has led to increasing attention to this research field. The advent of new methods for the separation and extraction of DNA from mixtures, novel or jointly applied genetic markers for detection and reliable interpretation approaches for estimating the weight of evidence, as well as the powerful massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technology, has greatly extended the range of mixed samples that can be correctly analyzed. Here, we summarized the investigative approaches and progress in the field of forensic DNA mixture analysis, hoping to provide some assistance to forensic practitioners and to promote further development involving this issue.

Abstract
Autosomal genetic markers and Y chromosome markers have been widely applied in analysis of mixed stains at crime scenes by forensic scientists. However, true genotype combinations are often difficult to distinguish using autosomal markers when similar amounts of DNA are contributed by multiple donors. In addition, specific individuals cannot be determined by Y chromosomal markers because male relatives share the same Y chromosome. X-linked markers, possessing characteristics somewhere intermediate between autosomes and the Y chromosome, are less universally applied in criminal casework. In this paper, X markers are proposed to apply to male mixtures because their true genes can be more easily and accurately recognized than the decision of the genotypes of AS markers. In this study, an actual two-man mixed stain from a forensic case file and simulated male-mixed DNA were examined simultaneously with the X markers and autosomal markers. Finally, the actual mixture was separated successfully by the X markers, although it was unresolved by AS-STRs, and the separation ratio of the simulated mixture was much higher using Chr X tools than with AS methods. We believe X-linked markers provide significant advantages in individual discrimination of male mixtures that should be further applied to forensic work.

Abstract
Haplotype-specific extraction (HSE) is a new field of application for the separation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mixtures and is developed to identify the mtDNA haplotypes of the contributors subsequently by sequencing. Here we show the validation of HSE with an exemplary mitochondrial DNA mixture into its individual haplotypes according to our laboratory standards. These specify several critical areas of assay performance to be tested, such as sensitivity, robustness and mixture studies comprising varying proportions of their components,degraded samples and samples of different qualities and material. Wereport the successful and unambiguous analysis of the exemplary separated mitochondrial DNA mixture under various conditions as well as simulated casework samples, which manifest as mixed nucleotide calls at single base positions previously. Here we demonstrate that the HSE assay is high sensitive, stable against degradation and applicable in a wide range of sample qualities. Based on our findings from the validation study, we believe that this assay has great potential power and may be useful for distinguishing among the mtDNA of individuals and their geographical origin in mixed DNA samples.
