Abstract
Y-chromosomal DNA lineages can be used to trace the origins of males in modern populations. A combination of biallelic markers has been used to identify “haplogroup 3” Y chromosomes, which are widespread and common in many European and Asian populations. Microsatellite analysis shows that the diversity of haplogroup 3 chromosomes is low, suggesting a recent spread.
