ySTR haplotype simulation

  • Constant population of 10,000 people for 50,000 years
  • subdivided into 10 non-interbreeding tribes, each of size 1,000
  • 37-marker (single copy) haplotypes; all repeat numbers start at 20 in ancestral population
  • monogamous marriages until death
  • inbreeding taboo > 2nd cousins
  • avg. life expectancy ~43 years
  • avg. number of male offspring 1.0 (zero pop growth)
  • STR mutation rate ranges linearly from 0.0020/gen for STRa to 0.0056 for STRkk

    • ySTR distributions at end of run (~5000 males)
