| Comments |
Researchers estimated sequence divergence times across the
12 Drosophila genomes using the experimentally inferred
neutral mutation rate of 3.46?10^-9 bp^-1 gen^-1 from D.
melanogaster (primary source), converted to a
time-based estimate of 0.0346 bp^-1 My^-1 by assuming 10
generations per year (e.g., Cutter 2008). |
