Thanks so much for what you've done, Leo! These tables are extremely
useful!

Would I be correct in using the same 0.75 multiplied times the J2 gene
diversities to get the J2 mutation rates for each marker? I've done that.

Now, does anyone who has been working with Network recently have a good
suggestion for the number by which to multiply these mutation rates, to
come up with a weighting factor for each marker, for making network
diagrams?
