New estimates of intergenerational time intervals for the calculation of age and origins of mutations.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Feb 2000

Tremblay M, Vézina H

Abstract excerpt

Intergenerational time intervals are frequently used in human population-genetics studies concerned with the ages and origins of mutations. In most cases, mean intervals of 20 or 25 years are used, regardless of the demographic characteristics of the population under study. Although these characteristics may vary from prehistoric to historical times, we suggest that this value is probably too low, and that the...
