Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has greatly expanded researchers' ability to study structural variants (SVs), that is, the variation in the presence, number, orientation or position of a DNA sequence. This has paved the way to study the eco-evolutionary dynamics of SVs across the tree of life and within a population genomics framework. In this review, we provide the necessary fundamentals to help researchers...
