    Genetic diversity - the hidden secret of biodiversity

    Biological diversity is more than all the different species on Earth. It is also the incredible variety within a species.

    Trillions of characteristics are hidden in organisms’ genomes; the result of all the biological information from thousands of ancestors and millions of years of evolution. All the biological data and variation that makes life on our planet work is encoded in DNA. This is known as genetic diversity.
