A statistical treatment of biases affecting the estimation of mutation rates.

Mutation research - 22 Mar 2004

Vicard P, Dawid A P

Abstract excerpt

We consider the estimation of mutation rates, using family data obtained from disputed paternity cases. It is shown how to take appropriate account of a number of complicating features-in particular, hidden mutation, differential mutation, and uncertain paternity-which can necessitate large corrections to simple estimates.
