Structural variation landscape of Middle Eastern and North African individuals from long-read nanopore sequencing reveals medically relevant variants

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Structural variants (SVs) are a major source of genomic diversity and disease susceptibility; however, populations from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region remain critically underrepresented in global reference databases. We provide a detailed catalogue of structural variation in 61 individuals from diverse MENA countries (8 countries), using publicly available ultra-long Oxford Nanopore sequencing. A s...
