Post title exposes misunderstanding by DeNews:

Where Are the Neutral Genomes with these Mutations?


What the hell is a neutral genome?  Mutations are neutral, ie
one genome has the same fitness as another.

DeNews gets off the hook for this one. PaV is the one spouting off about 'neutral genomes' (which, in response to my query, he denies using that term) or what he 'clarifies' as 'neutral versions of the genome.' Are there such entities?

Denews is not off the hook because she credulously thinks PaV knows what he is talking about.  A google scholar search for "neutral genome" gives 6 hits with the words in consecutive order, yet none of these where it is a noun.  Then comes the hits for "neutral, genome"...
