How often are the mutation rate estimates updated?
The current estimates are based on over 130,000 meioses (transmission events) analyzed in the Hammer laboratory. As additional known genealogies are added to the databases, updated estimates of the marker mutation rates will be generated and incorporated into ADNATiP™. The date of the current mutation rate estimate set is given at the bottom of the ADNATiP™ printout, allowing you to see if the estimates have been updated since you last ran your results.
