As the high throughput sequencing efforts generate more biological information, scientists from different disciplines are interpreting the polymorphisms that make us unique. In addition, there is an increasing trend in general public to research their own genealogy, find distant relatives and to know more about their biological background. Commercial vendors are providing analyses of mitochondrial and Y-chromosomal markers for such purposes. Clearly, an easy-to-use free interface to the existing data on the identified variants would be in the interest of general public and professionals less familiar with the field. Here we introduce a novel metadatabase YDHS that aims to provide such an interface for Y-chromosomal DNA (Y-DNA) haplogroups and sequence variants.随着高通量测序(high throughput sequencing)技术不断产生更多生物学信息，跨学科科研人员正积极解析赋予人类个体独特性的基因多态性。此外，普通大众自主探究家族谱系、找寻远亲并深入了解自身生物学背景的趋势愈发明显。商业服务提供商亦针对此类需求，提供线粒体(mitochondrial)与Y染色体(Y-chromosomal)标记物的分析服务。显而易见，为已鉴定变异的现有数据提供便捷易用的免费访问界面，将惠及普通大众与该领域不甚熟悉的专业人员。本文介绍一款新型元数据库(metadatabase) YDHS，旨在为Y染色体DNA(Y-DNA)单倍群与序列变异提供此类访问界面。
