      Using the literature of human and medical genetics, the results of a synchronous citation study of obsolescence over a 19-year period were compared with the results of a diachronous citation study. If the first two years of synchronous data are excluded, the rate of obsolescence measured synchronously is statistically equivalent to the rate of obsolescence measured diachronously.
