Abstract excerpt
In an era of expanding sequencing technologies, increased variant identification requires assignment of potential functional impact to prioritize those that may be disease-causing. In this data note, we demonstrate the importance of using a refined human genome reference assembly and more diverse and curated population-based databases in guiding functional annotation of variants identified in inherited retinal...
