I’m not super well-versed in genetics so the premise of the question might be wrong, but how’s it possible to capture the genetic code of a species considering genetic variation? Do scientists pick an individual’s genetic code to treat as the default? Do they somehow mark that certain segments of genetic code are prone to change while others are more fundamentally stable? It’s always confused me a little.
Again, sorry if the question doesn’t make much sense and thanks in advance for any answers.

Think of it like British vs American English. The sentence is the same but the spelling differs a bit here and there, like colour instead of color. Most of the time the differences are inconsequential and the meaning is unchanged.
