The mutation rate in Gusmao's own study ranged from .0008 (DYS438) to .0068
(DYS439), perhaps answering Anne's question about whether fast markers were
included.
Point of note. I wasn't ever asserting that fast markers were totally
excluded -- my question was about whether they were represented proportionately to
their presence in the marker pool. Studies excluding most of them would be
expected to find fewer mutations, would they not?
