Genome assembly comparison identifies structural variants in the human genome

Numerous types of DNA variation exist, ranging from SNPs to larger structural alterations such as copy number variants (CNVs) and inversions. Alignment of DNA sequence from different sources has been used to identify SNPs 1 , 2 and intermediate-sized variants (ISVs) 3 . However, only a small proport...

Zusammenfassung:Numerous types of DNA variation exist, ranging from SNPs to larger structural alterations such as copy number variants (CNVs) and inversions. Alignment of DNA sequence from different sources has been used to identify SNPs 1 , 2 and intermediate-sized variants (ISVs) 3 . However, only a small proportion of total heterogeneity is characterized, and little is known of the characteristics of most smaller-sized (
