So, i've found this info.
>As of 2015, the typical difference between the genomes of two individuals was estimated at 20 million base pairs (or 0.6% of the total of 3.2 billion base pairs).
Nucleotide diversity is the average proportion of nucleotides that differ between two individuals. As of 2004, the human nucleotide diversity was estimated to be 0.1%[10] to 0.4% of base pairs.[11] In 2015, the 1000 Genomes Project, which sequenced one thousand individuals from 26 human populations, found that "a typical [individual] genome differs from the reference human genome at 4.1 million to 5.0 million sites … affecting 20 million bases of sequence"; the latter figure corresponds to 0.6% of total number of base pairs.
>He found that the majority of the total genetic variation between humans (i.e., of the 0.1% of DNA that varies between individuals),
So on one hand, it seems that our dna can differ with 0,6%.
On the other some people say it only differs up to 0.1%
Can someone help me understand this? Ty
