Abstract excerpt
Variation within human genomes is unevenly distributed, and variants show spatial clustering. DNA replication-related template switching is a poorly known mutational mechanism capable of causing major chromosomal rearrangements as well as creating short inverted sequence copies that appear as local mutation clusters in sequence comparisons. In this study, haplotype-resolved genome assemblies representing 25 human...
