Assessments of DNA misrepair, and the resulting effects on the structural integrity of the genome, are critical for evaluating the safety of cell and gene therapy applications. Most genome editing ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Robertsonian chromosomes are large chromosomes that form when the long arm of a chromosome breaks and fuses with another chromosome. They are the most common type of chromosome rearrangement in humans ...

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a globally important tropical fruit valued for its nutrition and medicinal properties, yet its genetic diversity has been incompletely understood. In a new study, ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...
