  • Mutations
    • Substitution
      • One or more bases are swapped for another
        • E.g. ATGCCT > ATTCCT
    • Deletion
      • One more more bases are removed
        • E.g. ATGCCT > ATCCT
    • Addition
      • One or more bases are added
        • E.g. ATGCCT > ATGACCT
    • Duplication
      • One or more bases are repeated
        • E.g. ATGCCT > ATGCCCCT
    • Inversion
      • A sequence of bases is reversed
        • E.g. ATGCCT > ACCGTT
    • Translocation
      • A sequence of bases is moved from one location in the genome to another.
        • This could be movement within the same chromosome or movement to a different chromosome
