Genome maps across 26 human populations reveal population-specific patterns of structural variation

Genome maps across 26 human populations reveal population-specific patterns of structural variation

Large structural variants (SV) are understudied in human genetics research because of the difficulty to detect them in the routinely generated short-read sequencing data. Here, the authors generate optical genome maps of 154 individuals from 26 populations that allow comprehensive examination of lar...
