Can you explain why ReMine's claim of a maximum of 1667 beneifical nucleotide substitutions should be considered valid ?
There doesn't seem any reason NJ should have to do that, because it isn't his position. From the OP,
quote:
The argument has been expounded by others who assert that substitutions into the population might be larger than a nucleotide. This includes insertion/deletion or inversion/duplication. Each of these count as a substitution
Does ReMine claim it is nucleotides? If he does, then an interesting question would be why NJ chooses to depart from ReMine on this issue.
