Abstract excerpt
Copy number variation (CNV) is the main type of structure variation (SV) caused by genomic rearrangement, which mainly includes deletion and duplication of sub-microscopic but large (>1 kb) genomic segments. CNV has been recognized as one of the main genetic factors underlying human diseases. The mutation rate (per locus) of CNV is much higher than that of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The genome-wide...
