Human-centred research often treats variation between people as something to accommodate, control, or average out. This working paper explores another possibility: human variation can be used ...

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.

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, ...

The rapid loss of variation within species is a hidden biodiversity crisis, according to the authors of a new study looking at how this variation supports essential ecological functions and the ...

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.

There are three key aspects to genetic disease associations: comprehensive variant discovery, accurate allele-frequency determination, and an understanding of the pattern of normal variation and its ...

A central part of quality management involves tracking, identifying and managing changes that occur in a system or process; these are variations. When changes are planned and executed well, the ...

Eliminating clinical variation is critical not only to ensuring patients receive the safest, highest-quality care, but it is also an integral component of reducing the overall cost of healthcare — on ...
