Abstract in brief

  • The Y chromosome is used in forensic DNA analysis mainly for identifying male individuals, particularly when standard DNA tests are inconclusive, and for establishing paternal relationships.
  • Y-STR haplotyping helps investigators determine if a male suspect is involved, trace paternal lineages, detect multiple male contributors at a crime scene, and assist in cases like paternity tests, missing persons, and disaster victim identification.
  • A notable murder case demonstrated the importance of Y chromosome analysis by leading to changes in forensic laws, and it was eventually solved using an innovative Y-STR testing method involving volunteers, with future advancements expected in forensic applications.]
