The article cites a study which sequenced the Y chromosome of two men in China separated by 13 generations. It has found out that DNA sequencing of the human Y chromosome carry 100-200 genetic mutations not seen in their parents. It suggested that direct measurement of the human mutation rate should help researchers to refine evolutionary dating and to better understand the source of genetic disease.
