Abstract excerpt
Comprehensive descriptions of large insertion/deletion or segmental duplication polymorphisms (SDs) in the human genome have recently been generated. These annotations, known collectively as structural or copy-number variants (CNVs), include thousands of discrete genomic regions and span hundreds of millions of nucleotides. Here we review the genomic distribution of CNVs, which is strongly correlated with gene,...
