Hi bluegenes, just need a couple clarifications:
​
The first paper gives us a point mutation rate of 4 in 13 generations, or approximately 1 for every three generations, on the 1/5 of the non-recombining area of the Y-chromosome (which is ~95% of the total chromosome).
​
Would this rephrasing be acceptable to you:
​
"The first paper derives a point mutation rate of 4 in 13 generations (or approximately 1 for every three generations) for 1/5 of the non-recombining area of the Y-chromosome. The non-recombining area is ~95% of the total chromosome."
​
That would be about 300 for the entire chromosome.
​
"300 mutations" would be more clear.
​
If you make these or equivalent changes I'll promote the thread.
