The consortium had the following objective: web resources that communicate information relating to the non-recombinant region of the Y-chromosome including new variants and changes in the nomenclature.{{cite web |url=http://ycc.biosci.arizona.edu/ |title=The Y Chromosome Consortium |work=Bio Sciences |publisher=University of Arizona |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116195823/http://ycc.biosci.arizona.edu/ |archive-date=2017-01-16 |url-status=dead }} The consortium sponsored literature regarding updates in the phylogenetics and nomenclature.{{cite journal |vauthors=Karafet TM, Mendez FL, Meilerman MB, Underhill PA, Zegura SL, Hammer MF |title=New binary polymorphisms reshape and increase resolution of the human Y chromosomal haplogroup tree |journal=Genome Res. |volume=18 |issue=5 |pages=830–8 |date=May 2008 |pmid=18385274 |pmc=2336805 |doi=10.1101/gr.7172008 }}{{cite journal |title=A nomenclature system for the tree of human Y-chromosomal binary haplogroups |journal=Genome Res. |volume=12 |issue=2 |pages=339–48 |date=February 2002 |pmid=11827954 |pmc=155271 |doi=10.1101/gr.217602 |author= Y Chromosome Consortium}}
