Abstract

Structural variation (SV) encompasses diverse types of genomic variants including deletions, duplications, inversions, transpositions, translocations, and complex rearrangements, and is now recognized to be an abundant class of genetic variation in mammals. Different individuals, or strains, of a given species can differ by thousands of variants. However, despite a large number of studies over the past decade and impressive progress on many fronts, there remain significant gaps in our knowledge, particularly in species other than human. Arguably the most relevant among these are genetically tractable models such as mouse, rat, and dog. The emergence of efficient and affordable DNA sequencing technologies presents an opportunity to make rapid progress toward understanding the nature, origin, and function of SV in these, and other, domesticated species. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge of SV in mammals, with a focus on the similarities and differences between domesticated species and human. We then present methods to identify SV breakpoints from next-generation sequence (NGS) data by paired-end mapping, split-read mapping, and local assembly, and discuss challenges that arise when interpreting these data in lineages with complex breeding histories and incomplete reference genomes. We further describe technical modifications that allow for identification of variants involving repetitive DNA elements such as transposons and segmental duplications. Finally, we explore a few of the key biological insights that can be gained by applying NGS methods to model organisms.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 June 2012.
All research outputs
#2,650,407
of 24,666,614 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#485
of 13,875 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,238
of 252,591 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#34
of 490 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,666,614 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,875 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 252,591 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 490 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
