Reconstructing the history of large-scale genomic changes: biological questions and computational challenges.

Abstract excerpt

In addition to point mutations, larger-scale structural changes (including rearrangements, duplications, insertions, and deletions) are also prevalent between different mammalian genomes. Capturing these large-scale changes is critical to unraveling the history of mammalian evolution in order to better understand the human genome. It also has profound biomedical significance, because many human diseases are...
