List of DYS markers
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of DYS markers
The following DYS markers are commonly tested in genealogical DNA testing.
DYS454 is the least varying Y-STR marker, and multi-copy marker DYS464 is the most varying Y-STR marker.
| DYS# | notes | alleles | links |
|---|---|---|---|
| DYS19 | see DYS394 | ||
| DYS385 | DYS385 is a multi-copy marker, and includes DYS385a and DYS385b. | 7 - 28 | [NIST fact sheet] |
| DYS388 | 10-16 | ||
| DYS389 | DYS389 is a multi-copy marker, and includes DYS389i and DYS389ii. DYS389ii refers to the total length of DYS389. Therefore, when there is a one step mutation at DYS389i, it will also appear in DYS389ii. | i:9-17 ii:24-34 | [NIST fact sheet] |

DYS454
| DYS454 is the least varying Y-STR marker commonly used in genealogical DNA testing. Of the entries for DYS454 at [Ybase], 96% have 11 repeats, 3% have 10 repeats, and 2% have 12 repeats ([source]). | 10-12 | |
| DYS455 | 8-12 | [Sorenson Marker Details] | |
| DYS456 | 13-18 | [Sorenson Marker Details] | |
| DYS458 | 13-20 | [Sorenson Marker Details] | |
| DYS459 | This is a multi-copy marker, and includes DYS459a and DYS459b. | 7-10 | |
| DYS460 | DYS460 was originally known as Y-GATA-A7.1. | 7-12 | [NIST fact sheet] |
| DYS461 | DYS461 was originally known as Y-GATA-A7.2. | 8-14 | [NIST fact sheet] |
| DYS462 | 8-14 | ||
| DYS463 | 18-27 | [GDB fact sheet] | |
DYS464
| DYS464 is a multi-copy marker, and includes DYS464a, DYS464b, DYS464c, and DYS464d. Rarely it can also include DYS464e, DYS464f, and DYS464g. DYS464 is the most varying Y-STR marker ([source]). This marker can also be typed with separate g-types and c-types to increase resolution. The type variance is based on a SNP that can be found in most R1b haplogroup males. | 9-20 | [Forensic value of the multicopy Y-STR marker DYS464] [DYS464X testing] [DYS464 discrepencies] |

| DYS726 | YSTR marker in the pericentromeric region. | 11-16 | |
| DYF385S1 | Duplicated YSTR marker in close proximity to DYS459 | 9-12 | |
| DYF399S1 | An asymmetric three allele STR locus that can be used to observe deletions and recombinational rearrangements in the palindromic region of the Y chromosome. | 17-29 (many incomplete alleles) | [nomenclature] |
