Estimated distribution of the MRCA (TMRCA) with constant population

Gene MRCA* T1* T2* MRCA** T1** T2**
SMCY 0.56 0.40 0.82 85,000 61,000 125,000
DBY 0.83 0.60 1.10 154,000 112,000 206,000
DFFRY 0.96 0.55 1.21 120,000 69,000 152,000
Three genes 0.55 0.36 0.98 84,000 55,000 149,000

MRCA* is expected age in units of Ne generations. T1* and T2* are the central 95% probability intervals for the expected age of MRCA. MRCA**, T1**, and T2** are the corresponding values in years.
