Abstract excerpt
Structural variants (SVs) are a major type of genetic variation, yet their role in human traits remains largely uncharacterized, primarily due to challenges in genotyping them on a genome-wide scale in large cohorts. Here we identified 171,233 high-quality, genome-wide SVs from 482 haplotype-resolved genome assemblies derived from PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing of 241 individuals. We developed a reference panel...
