The following list of DYS (DNA Y-chromosome Segment) markers are commonly used in genealogical DNA testing. DYS454 is the least diverse, and multi-copy marker DYS464 is the most diverse Y-STR marker. The location on the Y chromosome of numbered DYS markers can be roughly given with cytogenetic localization. For example DYS449 is located at Yp11.2 - meaning the Y chromosome, petit arm, band 1, sub-band 1, sub-sub-band 2 - DYS449.

  • The following list of DYS (DNA Y-chromosome Segment) markers are commonly used in genealogical DNA testing. DYS454 is the least diverse, and multi-copy marker DYS464 is the most diverse Y-STR marker. The location on the Y chromosome of numbered DYS markers can be roughly given with cytogenetic localization. For example DYS449 is located at Yp11.2 - meaning the Y chromosome, petit arm, band 1, sub-band 1, sub-sub-band 2 - DYS449. For a nearly complete map of the position of DYS and DYF markers have a look at Ymap from Family Tree DNA.
