Abstract excerpt
Transposable element (TE) insertions are a major source of structural variation in the human genome. Due to the repetitive nature and biological importance of TEs, many bioinformatic tools have been developed to identify and genotype TE insertion polymorphisms using high-throughput short-reads. In this chapter, we outline recently developed methods to characterize TE insertion polymorphisms in human populations....
