Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copy number variants, which are large-scale structural variations in the genome, were not accounted for in the initial genome sequencing efforts. This led to an underestimation of genomic diversity in populations. Mutations, SNPs, ethnic differences, and gene therapy would still be present and accounted for in the genome sequencing, although they may contribute to the variability as well.
