Abstract

We established a data set of 17 Y-STRs of 261 males from the Tyrolean district of Reutte. In total we observed 228 different haplotypes, 203 of which were unique and 25 occurred between two and four times. The haplotype diversity was 0.9987 and the discrimination capacity was 0.8736. Further, samples were typed with a selection of 19 Y-SNPs to establish the haplogroup background. Data are available in the Y chromosome haplotype reference database under accession number YA003715.
