Abstract excerpt
To better understand large-effect pathogenic variation associated with autism, we generated long-read sequencing (LRS) data to construct phased and near-complete genome assemblies (average contig N50 = 43 Mbp, QV = 56) for 189 individuals from 51 families with unsolved cases. We applied read- and assembly-based strategies to facilitate comprehensive characterization of de novo mutations, structural...
