What is "Amplification"?

[Zinc Avenger]

In a super-long-term sim I've seen "Delta mutations changed Amplification from X to Y" a couple of times, but never before or since. What is this "Amplification"?

A delta mutation is a mutation that changes the rate of another mutation.

An amplification mutation takes a random length of DNA (specified as a gaussian curve that you can play with), copies it, and places it elsewhere in the genome.

Delta mutations can happen any cycle, but amplification mutations occurr only if you reproduce.

Amplification doesn't seem to exist anymore. At least, it doesn't appear in the mutation settings panel.

I disabled a couple mutation types at one point, due to problems with array bounds.  It was right before I switched to the C++ source, so they probably never got fixed.
