Highlights
•The genealogical pair method enables to efficiently estimate Y-STR mutation rates.
•Y-SNP haplogroup differences in Y-STR mutation rates were observed.
•Haplogroup specific Y-STR mutation rates are caused by allele size differences.
•Y-STR mutation rate differences have an impact on tMRCA estimations
R1b STRs mutate faster than others, thus pulling up the average due to high occurrence.
I and J haplogroups have significantly lower mutation rates compared to R1b. This has been anecdotally noticed in the I1 Z63 research group who have been getting contradicting results of TMRCA when using STRs vs SNPs.
"Significant differences in average Y-STR mutations rates were observed when haplogroup ‘I & J’ (4.03 × 10−3mutations/generation) was compared to ‘R1b’ (5.35 × 10−3 mutations/generation) and to the overall mutation rate (5.03 × 10−3mutations/generation). A difference in allele size distribution was identified as the only cause for these haplogroup specific mutation rates."
