A comparative ancestry analysis of Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups using high resolution melting
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The objective of this study is to deduce paternal ancestry using ancestry
informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by means of High
Resolution Melting (HRM). This was completed by producing a multiplex system
that ...
