Evolutionary forces on the genome have generated vast genetic heterogeneity in human disease. Mutation introduces many new variants in every generation, some severe enough to cause disease. Such mutations are rapidly selected out of the population but are replaced by newcomers. Current sequencing technologies offer the possibility, for the first time, of finding these mutations and the genes that harbor them. |
