Abstract excerpt
Copy number variants (CNVs) underlie several genomic disorders and are a major source of genetic innovation. Consequently, any bias affecting their placement in the genome will impact our understanding of human disease and genome evolution. Here we report a mutational bias affecting CNVs that generates different probabilities of duplication and deletion across the genome in association with DNA replication time....
