摘要
An expression is obtained for the time-dependent variance of the microsatellite genetic distance (delta mu)(2) when the mutation rate is allowed to vary randomly among loci. An estimator is presented for the coefficient of variation, C-w, in the mutation rate. Estimated values of C-w from genetic distances between African and non-African populations were less than 100%. Caveats to this conclusion are discussed.
