# 4 Y Chromosome Analysis and its Application to Forensic Casework
September 22, 2003

Description: The workshop will target individuals who are currently performing casework using autosomal STR analysis or are in the process of validating/implementing Y-Chromosome DNA analysis for casework. The program's morning session will focus on the general introduction of Y-chromosome including structure, evolution, and polymorphic markers on the Y-chromosome and the development of new Y-STR, Y-SNP markers. The migration of human population as tracked by Y-Chromosome analysis will also be discussed. The afternoon session will be focused on forensic validation, population genetics and casework experience of multiplexed Y-chromosome systems currently in use in forensic casework. The workshop will have the privilege of the participation of international scientists who pioneered the development and establishment of Y-STR and Y-SNP analysis systems for human identity as well as human evolution studies.
