The 5% difference in Britten's result is based on phenetics, I guess. You showed me earlier that indels can make large differences in one mutation event. I am curious about how many indel events that had happened in Britten's sample. I assume that each base substitution (point mutation) equals one mutation event, but, for indels, each different base (or individual gap) may or may not represent one event. Just want to know what you say about it.

I could not open the paper - we have it in our library, but that is so far to wlk!
From the abstract, it appears that my assessment was correct - he is just counting the number of bps in each indel.
I have not looked at Britten's sample, but you can look at the link I provided to get a flavor of it.
