Abstract excerpt
Most population genomic tools rely on accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling and filtering to meet their underlying assumptions. However, genomic complexity, resulting from structural variants, paralogous sequences, and repetitive elements, presents significant challenges in assembling contiguous reference genomes. Consequently, short-read resequencing studies can encounter mismapping issues,...
