Y-STRs (Y-chromosome short tandem repeats) are not typically shorter in length compared to X-STRs. The statement about their length is incorrect because the length of STRs is not determined by their location on the X or Y chromosome but by the specific repeat structure and number of repeats in each STR locus.
