Genetic diversity
A property of a community of organisms of a certain species, in which members of the community have variations in their chromosomes due to a large number of slightly dissimilar ancestors; ...

Eugenic policies could also lead to loss of genetic diversity, in which case a culturally accepted improvement of the gene pool may, but would not necessarily, result in biological disaster due to increased vulnerability to disease, ...

Well genetic diversity is the sum total of the genes and their variance that exist in nature.
Can you just give a brief overview of the Applied Research Department and what some your goals are here?

HUMAN GENETIC DIVERSITY:
The Ultimate Human Genetic Database
Any two individuals differ in about 3 x 106 bases (0.1%).
The population is now about 5 x 109.

Also, if enough samples are available, one could estimate the genetic diversity of past populations of organisms and how it changed through time. There has already been a paper of this nature in Journal of Molecular Evolution.

assessing the degree of genetic diversity in a population.
The McAlpine study, which produced the photo above, found that the heterozygous frogs were more successful breeders than homozygous ones.

This results in a severe reduction of the total genetic diversity of the original gene pool. The cheetah bottleneck causes relative infertility because of the intense inbreeding.

genetic erosion Irreversible loss of genetic diversity due to extinction of traditional varieties and wild ancestors of crop plants.
genetic recombination Crossing-over; a major source of genetic variation in a population or a given species.
Full article >>>

The exchange of pieces of DNA during the formation of eggs and sperm. Recombination allows the chromosomes to shuffle their genetic material, increasing the potential of genetic diversity. Homologous recombination is also known as crossing over.
