Y-chromosome data

A set of unique event polymorphisms associated with the non-recombining portion of the Y-chromosome (NRY) provides evidence concerning successful migrations originating from Africa, which can be interpreted as subsequent colonizations, differentiations and migrations overlaid upon previous population ranges.
Binary polymorphisms associated with the non-recombining region of the human Y chromosome (NRY) preserve the paternal genetic legacy of our species that has persisted to the present, (...)

Like mtDNA, there is no evidence for recombination in the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome (NRY).
The mutation rate of the NRY is comparable to that of nuclear DNA, which means that polymorphisms are more difficult to find but genealogies are easier to reconstruct.
The greater length of DNA on the NRY (perhaps 30 million bases of euchromatic DNA) relative to mtDNA compensates in data analyses for its lower mutation rate.
Even though the NRY behaves effectively as a single locus, (...)
