Variation is high when there are many different allelic forms of all genes and when there are many different combinations of those alleles. However, genetic variation is constantly changing.

In most cases, both alleles are transcribed; this is known as bi-allelic expression (left). However, a minority of genes show monoallelic expression (right). In these cases, only one allele of a ...

So how did all this genetic diversification happen? The researchers identified several mechanisms, but one stands out: ...
