The study of variation in the human genome.

Abstract excerpt

Regions of the genome showing high evolutionary stability are often conserved as a result of functional constraints. Conversely, more variable regions are likely to represent DNA with no functional or structural importance. However, as in the case of immunologically important regions, sequence divergence does not always indicate lack of functional importance. There is thus a wealth of information from both a...
