Reply to comment by sunplaysbass in When it's said 99.9% of human DNA is the same in all humans, is this referring to only coding DNA or both coding and non-coding DNA combined? by PeanutSalsa

Sure but this includes non coding and repetitive DNA which between individuals is somewhat unconstrained. If you look at only protein coding genes you get back down to variances closer to 0.1%
