A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses.

Researchers developed a technique that will aid in a more accurate reconstruction of human genomes.
… reads. These reads are then sorted using shorter marker sequences based on which parent they were inherited from. "For these cattle, about 92 percent of the markers sequences are shared by both parents," said Dr. Phillippy. …
