Units for time estimates

[Maycon Oliveira]

This is a simple question: if I estimate the true values for the time parameters as Time = 2 * Nref * t, will this be in generations or years?

Hello Maycon,

It will be in generations.

Best,

Ryan

Thanks for the prompt reply! Following up on a similar topic, I'm trying to estimate L and after looking at past discussions in this group, I arrived at the following equation:

L = RAD Loci * avg bases per locus * (SNPs filtered / SNPs unfiltered).

Does that make sense to you?

[Ryan Gutenkunst]

Yes, that should work.
