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.

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.File in questo prodotto:
