Software for Y-STR haplotype diversity calculation.
This program allows fast and reliable determination of which Y-STRs are the most informative by evaluating all possible combinations. It was conceived to address the following points:
- it can be used on populations from any region or size;
- it combines all possible results for any Y-STRs;
- it determines the number of different haplotypes for each set of Y-STRs;
- it calculates Haplotype Diversity (HD) for each set of Y-STRs.
