Abstract excerpt
Genomic structural variants (SVs) and transposable elements (TEs) can be significant contributors to genome evolution, gene expression alterations, and genetic disease risk. Recent advancements in long-read sequencing have greatly improved the quality of de novo genome assemblies and enhanced the detection of larger and highly repetitive sequence variants at the scale of hundreds or thousands of bases....
