In fact, we expect that across all humans, there are over 100 mutations at every single position in the human genome. And, here is the math to prove it: The average mutation rate in the human genome is 1.2 x10^-8 mutations per site per generation.This is pretty small, so in each person, we only expect to observe a handful of new mutations relative to their parents.But, that handful of mutations adds up when you think of how many people are on the earth.n fact, we expect that across all humans, there are over 100 mutations at every single position in the human genome. And, here is the math to prove it: The average mutation rate in the human genome is 1.2 x10^-8 mutations per site per generation.
Its improved precision accounts for why estimates of the number of genes in the human genome have decreased from 45,000 about 10 years ago, to Venter et al.'s estimate of 26,588 upon completion of the Human Genome Project (Venter et al., 2001), to the current estimate of between 20,000 and 21,000.
