Given what we expect to be strong purifying selection acting to reduce diversity on the Y, the same arguments, of ancient population structure or even archaic introgression may still apply to this unique
Y haplotype.
While the new
Y haplotype does increase the diversity, and thus the TMRCA, the TMRCA calculation is extremely sensitive to the mutation rate used.
By linking the Y chromosome lineages with genealogical information derived from written records, the researchers say it's now possible to define
Y haplotypes for certain founder stallions.

haplotype iterative mapping and sequencing) to establish a definitive reference DNA sequence of the
Y chromosome.
«Many
Y - chromosome
haplotypes co-existed within Scythian horse populations.
During the same time period, reproductive management has involved an increasingly reduced number of stallions, up to the point that, today, almost all domesticates virtually carry the same, or highly similar,

Mendez et al. identify a
Y chromosome
haplotype that has not been characterized before and, with more work, they determine that it is nearly identical to a small group of

Y - chromosome
haplotypes were recovered by aligning reads against previously identified
Y - chromosome contigs (12, 75), first against the contigs alone and then remapped against the full nuclear genome, including the
Y - chromosome contigs, to control for repetitive regions.
The
Y - chromosome
haplotype reconstructed for CGG10023 was distinct from those
Y - chromosome
haplotypes present in the modern horses, supporting previous hypotheses that domestication was associated with a significant loss of
Y - chromosomal diversity (12, 26).
We have identified a
Y - chromosomal lineage that is unusually frequent in northeastern China and Mongolia, in which a
haplotype cluster defined by 15
Y short tandem repeats was carried by approximately 3.3 % of the males sampled from East Asia.

Paternal
haplotypes were determined from the 44 male dogs in the group based upon a panel of six
Y - STR markers, including 650.79.2, 990.35.4, MS34A, MS34B, MS41A, and MS41B [21, 22].
