Basic knowledge about the rate and range of mutation is central to our understanding of numerous evolutionary processes that include maintaining sexual reproduction and rates of molecular evolution.

Structural variation was originally defined as insertions, deletions and inversions greater than 1 kb in size, but with the sequencing of human genomes now becoming routine, the operational spectrum ...

Concerns about biodiversity tend to focus on the loss of species from ecosystems, but a new study suggests that the loss of variation within species can also have important ecological consequences.

Variation is the differences between individuals of the same species, caused by genetic and environmental factors. Surveys into variation give data that are continuous, which means to come in a range, ...
