Characterising structural variants in patients with craniosynostosis using short-read and long-range technologies

Abstract:

Background: Structural variants (SVs) are large genomic alterations that can span from 50, to millions of base pairs, with potential clinical implications depending on their location and consequence. Characterisation and interpretation of SVs through conventional methods remain challenging due to both experimental and computational limitations. In contrast, emerging long-range technologies, such as Bionano Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT), ...
