Hi Joe
Just read your note re Mutation rates.
This topic is very important to me at present as I have a 36/37 match with another person
of the same surname with just one mismatch at DYS 449.
I am a bit in the dark re the different "Panels" you listed in your note to Whit.
I wonder if you could expand these for me and in particular what would be the mutation
rate for DYS 449?
Thank you.
Best Wishes
Edward
