Supplementary material p.26 2nd paragraph: "Assuming a constant mutation rate of 10^-10 mutations per base-pair per generation (primary source) it is possible to estimate the total branch length between two leaves in a phylogenetic tree by 𝑇 = 𝑑/2𝜇 where 𝑑 is the estimated number of mutations that have occurred on the branches, 𝜇 is the mutation rate per bp per generation and 𝑇 is the number of generations from the most recent
common ancestor. Based on these assumptions the cN2-C1 to cN2-C5 clades likely diverged at least a few million years ago." |
