Reason for Not Requiring Vaccinations? Penn State Would Rather Not Say

The genomes of different populations of cacao trees like these are 99.9% identical, but it’s the structural variants in that one tenth of 1% of their genomes that accounts for the plant’s diversity in different regions and its adaptation to climate and various diseases. IMAGE: ROBERT WILSON
