    This article is about the island of Yap. For "Yap" the computer program, see Yap (computer program)

    Yap is an island in the Caroline Islands of the western Pacific Ocean, the westernmost state of the Federated States of Micronesia. The "island" of Yap actually consists of four continental islands (hence the alternative name of the Yap Islands). The four are very close together and joined within a common coral reef and entirely formed from an uplift of the Eurasian plate. The land is mostly rolling hills densely covered with vegetation. Mangrove swamps line much of the shore. An outer barrier reef surrounds the islands, enclosing a lagoon between fringing reefs and the inner edge of the barrier reef.

    YAP (genetics)
    YAP is a mutation on the Y chromosome, which defines specific haplogroups. It exists in haplogroups, DE, D and E. A Y chromosome that has the YAP mutation is called YAP-positive (YAP+), and a Y chromosome that does not have the YAP mutation is called YAP-negative (YAP-).

    The YAP mutation was caused when a strand of DNA called Alu, which copies itself, inserted a copy into the Y chromosome.
