The idea that a world in which everyone was born "perfect" would be a world in which something valuable was missing often comes up in debates about the ethics of technologies of prenatal testing and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). This thought plays an important role in the "disability critique" of prenatal testing.

Science, 1998
Elizabeth Pennisi, in her News & Comment article about a new National Research Council (NRC) report “Evaluating human genetic diversity” (24 Oct. p. [568][1]), states that the committee (which I chaired) that wrote the report gave “a cautious nod of approval” to a proposed global survey of human genetic diversity. The committee strongly endorses such a

The Genetics of Chemical Diversity
Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1994The plethora of natural organic chemicals contrasts with the relative scarcity of genes and the apparent difficulty to evolve new ones. The genetical analysis of metabolism may be reviewed with this paradox in mind. The terpenoids constitute a particularly varied group of natural compounds; many of them are dispensable to the cell and their ...

Genetic diversity in the Caucasus.
Human biology, 1994We report genetic variation in the Caucasus, a region showing extreme linguistic differentiation. Spatial autocorrelation analysis of 31 alleles in 793 samples and maps of interpolated allele frequencies show significant geographic structure, but the patterns are clinical for only a few alleles. Many gene frequency distributions are patchy, most likely

An Anthropocene map of genetic diversity
Science, 2016The Anthropocene is witnessing a loss of biodiversity, with well-documented declines in the diversity of ecosystems and species. For intraspecific genetic diversity, however, we lack even basic knowledge on its global distribution. We georeferenced 92,801 mitochondrial sequences for >4500 species of terrestrial mammals and amphibians, and found that

Genetic diversity of Rhodopirellula strains
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2013Rhodopirellula baltica SH1(T) is a marine planctomycete with 7,325 genes in its genome. Ten strains of the genus Rhodopirellula were studied in whole genome microarray experiments to assess the extent of their genetic relatedness to R. baltica SH1(T). DNA of strains which were previously affiliated with the species R.

Pediatrics, 1977
Only about 7% of all human genetic diversity is between major races. It would appear then that the superficial characters of skin color, hair form, lip, nose, and eye shape that we use to distinguish human races are atypical and do not represent the mode of human genetic variation.

Genetic diversity among sapoviruses
Archives of Virology, 2004Norovirus and Sapovirus are two genera of the family Caliciviridae that contain viruses that can cause acute gastroenteritis in humans. Noroviruses (NOR) are genetically highly diverse but limited studies of the genetic diversity of sapoviruses (SAP) have been reported.

Evolution, genetic diversity, and health
Nature MedicineHuman genetic diversity in today's world has been shaped by evolutionary history, demographic shifts and environmental exposures, influencing complex traits, disease susceptibility and drug responses. Capturing this diversity is essential for advancing precision medicine and promoting equitable healthcare.

Genetic Diversity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
2013Recent years have witnessed an increased appreciation of the extent and relevance of strain-to-strain variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This paradigm shift can largely be attributed to an improved understanding of the global population structure of this organism, and to the realisation that the various members of the M.
