Abstract

we will quantify the two mutation rates in Table 5 as separate sections 1 and 2 has incorrectly been published as we will quantify the two mutation rates in Table 5 as separate sections Introduction and Subjects and methods. The sentence Assuming in the high-radiation area a mutation rate of 1/600 transmissions for loss of four cytosines, 1/ 600 for loss of three cytosines, and 4/600 for a loss of two cytosines (Table 5), the probability to observe the child's sequence, given the putative mother is the true mother, is approximately 1/600=0.17% has been incorrectly published as Assuming in the high-radiation area a mutation rate of one out of 1/600 transmissions for loss of four cytosines, one out of 1/600 for loss of three cytosines, and four out of 4/600 for a loss of two cytosines (Table 5), the probability to observe the child's sequence, given the putative mother is the true mother, is approximately 1/600=0.17%.
