Calibrating the Human Mutation Rate via Ancestral Recombination Density in Diploid Genomes.
The human mutation rate is an essential parameter for studying the evolution of our species, interpreting present-day genetic variation, and understanding the incidence of genetic disease. Nevertheless, our current estimates of the rate are uncertain. Most notably, recent approaches based on countin...
