Calotriton arnoldi is a newt species which lives exclusively in the Montseny massif. With a very low number of representatives, isolated in subpopulations, one could expect the species to present genetic endogamy problems. However, studies investigating the genetic “health status” of... Read moreThe survivor of the Montseny massif
Human genetic variation is the set of genetic differences that distinguish our genomes, either among individuals within a population or between populations. Its study has significant evolutionary and medical applications. The research group... Read morePopHuman: a reference genome browser of the human genetic variation
