Copy number variation (CNV) is a phenomenon in which sections of the genome are repeated and the number of repeats in the genome varies between individuals. [1] Copy number variation is a type of structural variation: specifically, it is a type of duplication or deletion event that affects a considerable number of base pairs. [2]

Copy number variation (CNV) is a general term used to describe a molecular phenomenon in which sequences of the genome are repeated, and the number of repeats varies between individuals of the same species.

5 天之前 · Copy number variation (abbreviated CNV) refers to a circumstance in which the number of copies of a specific segment of DNA varies among different individuals’ genomes. The individual variants may be short or include thousands of bases.

The term "copy number variation" refers to an intermediate-scale genetic change, operationally defined as segments greater than 1,000 base pairs in length but typically less than 5 megabases ...

Copy number variation (CNV) is a source of genetic diversity in humans. Numerous CNVs are being identified with various genome analysis platforms, including array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping platforms, and next-generation sequencing.

Copy number variation (CNV), generated through duplication or deletion events that affect one or more loci, is widespread in the human genomes and is often associated with functional consequences that may include changes in gene expression levels or fusion of genes.

Copy number variations (CNVs) have been linked to dozens of human diseases, but can they also represent the genetic variation that was so essential to our evolution?
