The structure of simple satellite variation in the human genome and its correlation with centromere ancestry

2023-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Although repetitive DNA forms much of the human genome, its study is challenging due to limitations in assembly and alignment of repetitive short-reads. We have deployed k-Seek , software that detects tandem repeats embedded in single reads, on 2,504 human genomes from the 1,000 Genomes Project to quantify the variation and abundance of simple satellites (repeat units < 20 bp). We find that homopolymers and the...
