Because we’ve sequenced the Neanderthal genome from fossils, we already know about a bunch of gene variants that we’ve inherited from our archaic cousins.

因为我们已经对化石中的尼安德特人基因组进行了测序，所以我们已经知道了我们从远古表亲那里继承的一系列基因变异。

Farmers make bigger, meatier turkeys by crossing the biggest, meatiest turkeys in each generation to amplify the gene variants for bigness and meatiness...but this only works to a point.

This is where chance events, like a small group becoming stranded on an island, change the frequency of gene variants in the gene pool, with some variation being lost entirely.

这就是偶然事件， 比如一小群人被困在一个岛上，改变基因库中基因变异的频率，一些变异会完全丢失。

If these findings hold up to more testing, Smith says, perhaps doctors could advise patients with this gene variant to avoid the most offensively bitter veggies but to try the others.

史密斯说，如果这些发现经得起更多的测试，也许医生可以建议携带这种基因变异的患者避免吃最苦的蔬菜， 而尝试其他蔬菜。

Another paper, published in 2022, found that relying on the reference genome meant that the details of some gene variants found in people with African ancestry, and seemingly associated with cancer, are poorly understood.

另一篇发表于 2022 年的论文发现，依赖参考基因组意味着人们对在非洲血统人群中发现的、似乎与癌症有关的某些基因变异的细节知之甚少。

Jim Flett Wilson from the University of Edinburgh, who led the study, reports that people living on the Shetland Islands in northern Scotland have a one-in-41 chance of carrying the gene variant which causes Batten disease, a life-limiting neurodegenerative disease.
