Haplotype Stability now in STR Match Finder

While updating STR Match Finder’s description regarding the usage of allele-specific STR mutation rates that I introduced in May, I added a new feature today.

There are now some statistics regarding how stable your haplotype is, compared to a baseline computed from statistics I crunched from YFull’s own computed haplotypes.

The baseline mutation rate for a STR is, for now, the geometric mean of estimated mutation rates over all observed instances of all alleles occurring more than 500 times among YFull’s entire tree of computed haplotypes.

If there is interest then I could expand this to compare your haplotype’s stability against the haplotype of a major haplogroup, such as J2a, J2b, R1b-U106 etc.

These posts are the opinion of Hunter Provyn, a haplogroup researcher in J-M241 and J-M102.
