Sharing this in case it's useful: I find that students often have a hard time conceptualizing quantitative parameters in genomics and popgen.

Here is a draft version of a cheat-sheet that I put together for my winter-quarter human genetics class. It's also part of a book that I am slowly writing on human popgen.

Corrections and other comments very welcome

@jkpritch @jkpritch this is so good. Thank you. I might add transposon percentage, human-chimp nonsynonymous rate in coding genes, indel rate, SV rate. I’d have to look some of those up myself (& also it’d be a fair criticism that we only have lower bounds for TEs/indels/SVs)

Thanks, these are great ideas. Some of this would also fit nicely into the multi-species thread.

And I have another table that covers some of the mutation types:
