Saturday, December 2nd, 2006Genetic Variation: We’re More Different Than We Thought
New research shows that at least 10 percent of genes in the human population can vary in the number of copies of DNA sequences they contain — a finding that alters current thinking that the DNA of any two humans is 99.9 percent similar in content and identity. This discovery of genetic variation is expected to change the way scientists think about genetic diseases and evolution.
