The evolution of structural variation across 500 million years of vertebrate evolution

2026-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Structural variants (SVs) contribute substantially to genetic variation and play vital roles in adaptation and disease 1,2 . Nonetheless, SVs are poorly captured by short reads and thus remain understudied, especially in non-model organisms 3,4 . Here, using haplotype-resolved genome assemblies from >600 vertebrate species, we comprehensively survey the landscape of SVs across >500 million years of evolution. We...
