DNA Variations and the Cell Molecular Stateome
DNA Variations Between Cells
DNA in cells within a single individual differs from cell to cell due to genomic and epigenomic variations.
Genome Differences:
- SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms): These variations affect gene regulation.
- CNVs (Copy Number Variations): Variations in the number of copies of DNA sections.
- RIPs (Retrotransposon Insertion Polymorphisms): Most prominent in germ cells and some neurons.
- Insertions and Deletions: Other forms of genetic
