The 17 pages that link to Genetic variation, each with the reason it gives.

• EvolutionRelated: Without heritable variation, selection cannot produce a lasting genetic response.

• GenomicsRelated: Variation is a major target of genomic measurement and interpretation.

• Whole-genome sequencingRelated: A principal use of whole-genome data is finding variation throughout the genome.

• DarwinismRelated: Selection requires differences among organisms on which reproductive success can act.

• BuddingRelated: Budding tends to preserve parental genotypes, while mutations introduce differences.

• Clonal evolutionRelated: Heritable differences provide the raw material for divergent cell lineages.

• Theodosius DobzhanskyRelated: Its abundance in wild populations was central to Dobzhansky’s studies of evolutionary change.

• Molecular epidemiologyRelated: Variation provides the markers used to distinguish pathogen strains and host groups.

• Animal colorationRelated: Inherited variation in pigment and structural traits supplies material for color evolution.

• MicroevolutionRelated: Microevolution changes the amount and distribution of genetic variation.

• Behavioural geneticsRelated: Such differences provide the genetic variation examined in behavioral studies.
