However, homogenisation of all the gene variants is not always Ephydatia fluviatilis as an example, and describe intra-individual

adequate results from phylogenetic [3] or phylogeographic to distinguish between individuals by compiling a specific profile
analysis [4]. Therefore it is crucial to distinguish between real for each individual analysed. Comparing these profiles can help us
informative allelic variants and the misleading single mutated to assess which specimens are similar enough on a genetic level to
copies, to achieve reproducible findings
