Systematic analysis of dark and camouflaged genes reveals disease-relevant genes hiding in plain sight

Abstract Background The human genome contains “dark” gene regions that cannot be adequately assembled or aligned using standard short-read sequencing technologies, preventing researchers from identifying mutations within these gene regions that may be relevant to human disease. Here, we identify reg...
