A high-quality human reference panel reveals the complexity and distribution of genomic structural variants

Structural variants (SVs) are prevalent in genomes of the general population. Here, Guryev and The Genome of the Netherlands Consortium describe the reference panel of haplotype-resolved SVs from 769 individuals from 250 Dutch families and show its utility for studying heritable traits.
