Hi Doug,

I remember you are the one who gave me the formula last year. I was
wondering if you were the only one who had ever come up with a formula
for this.

But Doug, if those are the weights you're using, you seem to be using a
really different set of mutation rates from the ones presented in Dean's
tables.

Could you give an example of the mutation rates for those first few
markers, that you're using to get those weights?
