I have calculated rates of the new markers in the Butler
paper, using the SMGF "slope" method. They are normalized to
a combination of all father-son and genealogical line marker
rates. For this normalization the FTDNA 12 normalizes to
0.002. I used only the "caucasian" data from Butler. This is
a painful process because the data is in pdf form and has to
be printed out and laboriously scanned back in.

Here they are:

DYS4440.00224
DYS4460.00319
DYS4490.00563
DYS4630.00204
DYS4850.00241
DYS4950.00131
DYS5050.00408
DYS5080.00136
DYS5200.00216
DYS5220.00451
DYS5320.00531
DYS5330.00329
DYS5340.00548
DYS5400.00192
DYS5560.00082
DYS5570.00358
DYS5700.00478
DYS5760.00552
DYS5940.00074
DYS6350.00276
DYS6430.00157

The average of these is in the .0027 range.
