Full definition of indel

Noun

1. (genetics) Either an insertion or deletion mutation in the genetic code.
• The observation that indels are enriched in linker relative to core sequence is also difficult to reconcile with a model of linker sequence conservation, because sites that are constrained for substitutions are also likely to be constrained for indel events.
