					<description><![CDATA[Sequencing coverage describes how DNA has been read across a genome or target region. Depth concerns how many reads cover a position; breadth concerns how much of the region is covered at a stated depth. In cannabis genetics, a high average depth doesn't guarantee that the particular position you're interested in was read reliably.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gene expression is the process of using information in a gene to produce functional RNA or, through RNA, a protein. In cannabis research, an expression result usually concerns particular samples, tissues and conditions. “Higher expression” isn't a complete conclusion until you know what was measured and what it was compared with.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Structural variation is a difference involving a stretch of DNA, such as a deletion, duplication, insertion or rearrangement. In cannabis research, it describes changes larger than a single-letter variant. The term tells you about the DNA's structure; it doesn't tell you whether the change has a beneficial, harmful or measurable effect.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A cannabis pangenome brings together genomic information from multiple cannabis individuals to represent more variation than a single reference can show. It can reveal shared and differing DNA regions, but it isn't automatically a complete inventory of the species. To understand what a pangenome tells you, start with which samples it includes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A reference genome is an assembled DNA sequence used as a comparison framework. In cannabis research, it gives scientists a shared way to locate sequences and describe differences. It isn't an ideal cannabis plant, and a coordinate only becomes useful when you know which assembly and version supplied it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A haplotype is a group of DNA variants carried together along one chromosome copy. In cannabis research, it helps answer a question that a list of variants may leave open: which changes sit together on the same copy? Knowing that arrangement adds information, but it doesn't by itself predict a plant's characteristics.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A SNP, pronounced “snip,” is a difference at one DNA-letter position. In cannabis genetics, a SNP can help describe how samples differ, but finding it doesn't automatically explain a plant's traits. When you're reading a genetic report, the useful distinction is between detecting a variant, finding an association, and demonstrating a cause.]]></description>
