RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Comparison of Y-chromosomal lineage dating using either evolutionary or genealogical Y-STR mutation rates JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 004705 DO 10.1101/004705 A1 Chuan-Chao Wang A1 Hui Li YR 2014 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/05/03/004705.abstract AB We have compared the Y chromosomal lineage dating between sequence data and commonly used Y-SNP plus Y-STR data. The coalescent times estimated using evolutionary Y-STR mutation rates correspond best with sequence-based dating when the lineages include the most ancient haplogroup A individuals. However, the times using slow mutated STR markers with genealogical rates fit well with sequence-based estimates in main lineages, such as haplogroup CT, DE, K, NO, IJ, P, E, C, I, J, N, O, and R. In addition, genealogical rates lead to more plausible time estimates for Neolithic coalescent sublineages compared with sequence-based dating.
