TIME TO MOST RECENT COMMON ANCESTOR tMRCA
Estimates are expressed in years AD, for targetted pairs of Big Y-700 men.

Use by looking up the total number of unmatched singletons for both men, preferably from the Private Variants tab for each man, and then finding that number in the rows below Then using the genetic distance at Y111, go to the two columns that match that number First column is the most recent, second the most distant, of the 95% confidence limits in years AD. Remember that not all men will fall within these limits, but most will.

Note the na row can be used for men without Big Y, but mostly this is for men with Big Y-700 results.

Calculations and cautions were given in a report to the R-U106 project members, by Dr Iain McDonald.
