Relative per-locus mutation rates for Y-DNA microsatellites, and also for mitochondrial DNA single- nucleotide polymorphisms, can be estimated directly from diverse collections of haplotypes without segregating population components. The calibrated average mutation rates for the FTDNA panels of 12, 25, and 37 loci are 0.00187±0.00028, 0.00278±0.00042, and 0.00492±0.00074, respectively, from a collection of haplotypes from Y-Search. The individual per-locus rates are given here.
