[News] Mutation Rate In Humans Measured Directly

[Galapagos]

ScienceDaily (Sep. 1, 2009) — An international team of 16 scientists today reports the first direct measurement of the general rate of genetic mutation at individual DNA letters in humans. The team sequenced the same piece of DNA - 10,000,000 or so letters or 'nucleotides' from the Y chromosome - from two men separated by 13 generations, and counted the number of differences. Among all these nucleotides, they found only four mutations.

Hi, your idea is very interesting , I really like it. Thanks a lot :rolleyes:

That headline "We Are All Mutants" is interesting. What would be the alternative? Modern Man (and Woman) have always existed precisely as they are now, or evolution has some other process to effect change?

 

Just asking.
