Abstract excerpt
We present a method for estimating the age of a mutation based on the genetic length of ancestral haplotypes shared between individuals carrying the mutation. The method can be reliably applied to small samples, typical of situations involving rare mutations, and makes effective use of modern high-density SNP data, thus overcoming two of the limitations with existing methods. The method provides age estimates and...
