Expanding the conservation genomics toolbox: Incorporating structural variants to enhance genomic studies for species of conservation concern.

Abstract excerpt

Structural variants (SVs) are large rearrangements (>50 bp) within the genome that impact gene function and the content and structure of chromosomes. As a result, SVs are a significant source of functional genomic variation, that is, variation at genomic regions underpinning phenotype differences, that can have large effects on individual and population fitness. While there are increasing opportunities to...
