Originally posted by vinevizFTDNATiP has as inputs: 1) some algorithm for calculating genetic distance (that takes into account RecLOH events at the multi-copy markers); and 2) 38 mutation rate estimates (one each for the first 37 markers and a single estimate for the final panel).
The GD algorithm would be easiest to crack, I think, but in order to reverse engineer the FTDNATiP mutation rate estimates you would need access to at least to 39 haplotypes which varied from each other at exactly one marker each. Leaving aside the problem that these 39 haplotypes don't exist, you still have to hope that there is a single solution to the problem of trying to simultaneously solve for the 38 mutation rate estimates.
Good luck.
I really don't want to get into all that. I was planning on focusing more on r1b1 since it applies to me personally and there is more data on that than perhaps any of the others. If I can get closer to FTDNATiP than using the public calculators, I'll be very happy.Last edited by JC399; 12 January 2007, 05:26 PM.
