The tool Generations can be adjusted by any user to put in his or her choice of rates. But if he or she then go online quoting their results, they should then surely state they put in their own rates.

At the time I considered Heinila's set of STR rates established by most comprehensive method and quantity of data. And I looked for a full set of 111 rates.

And how do you define the "best" mutation rates?

Also, for a very long time I used Chandler rates.

What are the differences?? You state that you use the mutation rates from M Heinila. On Yutlity111, one can choose "FTDNA" or "McDonald" mutation rates. Any idea on what the differences are between all? Why did you choose the one from M. Heinila?
