Abstract

caulay et al. 1997 [in press]).A more extensive pedigree study by Bendall et al. (1996) confirms the orthodox mtDNA mutation rate.We do agree with the comment by Bianchi and Bailliet that more research is needed in order to understand the mutational mechanisms acting on mtDNA and, specifically, on np 16519; for example, it is intriguing that np 16519 is virtually "frozen" in some haplogroups, such as group B in Amerinds and group T in Caucasoids, and in both the Caucasoid and the Amerind branches of group X.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
