Personalized and graph genomes reveal missing signal in epigenomic data

Abstract Background Epigenomic studies that use next generation sequencing experiments typically rely on the alignment of reads to a reference sequence. However, because of genetic diversity and the diploid nature of the human genome, we hypothesize that using a generic reference could lead to incor...
