Indels are quite abundant, although not quite as abundant as SNPs. It is estimated that there are 1-2 million short indels segregating at low to high frequency in modern human populations. The vast majority of indels occur in short tandem repeats.<br /> <br /> == Example ==<br /> <br /> === A 2-base deletion ===<br /> &lt;source lang=&quot;text&quot;&gt;<br /> Reference ACTGACACACACACTG<br /> Variant1 ACTGACACACAC--TG<br /> &lt;/source&gt;<br /> <br /> === A 2-base insertion ===<br /> &lt;source lang=&quot;text&quot;&gt;<br /> Reference ACTGACACACACAC--TG<br /> Variant1 ACTGACACACACACACTG<br /> &lt;/source&gt;</div>
