Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Recent claims that patterns of genetic variability in human mitochondria show evidence for recombination, have provoked considerable argument and much correspondence concerning the quality of the data, the nature of the analyses, and the biological realism of mitochondrial recombination. While the majority of evidence now points towards a lack of effective recombination, at least in humans, the debate has highlighted how difficult the detection of recombination can be in genomes with unusual mutation processes and complex demographic histories. A major difficulty is the lack of consensus about how to measure linkage disequilibrium. I show that measures differ in the way they treat data that are uninformative about recombination, and that when just those pairwise comparisons that are informative about recombination are used, there is agreement between different statistics. In this light, the significant negative correlation between linkage disequilibrium and distance, in at least some of the data sets, is a real pattern that requires explanation. I discuss whether plausible mutational and selective processes can give rise to such a pattern.
