  • Relying on my memory, Behe in Edge of Evolution considers the likelihood of mutations other than single-nucleotide substitutions producing the equivalent of more than two point mutations simultaneously.

  • But I think you missed my point: neo-Darwinism insists that single-nucleotide mutations can eventually bring about macroevolution.

  • The paper uses statistical analysis of the distributions of linkage disequilibria in single-nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs to detect genes under recent selection pressure, and finds that at least 10% of human genes have been under such selection.

  • "We chose that one because it has three well-defined single-nucleotide polymorphisms, three very distinct positions where mutations tend to occur, and it's linked to a whole heap of diseases," said Johnston.

  • We therefore genotyped the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were implicated by Zhang and colleagues in two Indian case-control cohorts (492 patients in New Delhi and 382 in Kolkata).
