Abstract excerpt
Phased genomes and pangenomes are enhancing our understanding of genetic variation. Accurate phasing and assembly in repetitive regions of the genome remain challenging, however. Addressing this obstacle is crucial for studying structural genomic variation, such as copy number variations (CNVs) common to repetitive regions. Polar fishes, for example, evolved repetitive tandem arrays of antifreeze protein (AFP)...
