Jumping Genes Provide Extensive 'Raw Material' for Evolution, Study Finds

(PhysOrg.com) -- Using high-throughput sequencing to map the locations of a common type of jumping gene within a person's entire genome, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found extensive variation in these locations among the individuals they studied, further underscoring the role of these errant genes in maintaining genetic diversity.
