Concerning the eXclusion in human genomics: the choice of sex chromosome representation in the human genome drastically affects the number of identified variants
27 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Over the past 30 years, a community of scientists has pieced together every base pair of the human reference genome from telomere to telomere. Interestingly, most human genomics studies omit more than 5% of the genome from their analyses.
