“…Also, although inversion genotypes might be predicted based on SNP data (Cáceres and González, 2015;Cáceres et al, 2012;Ma and Amos, 2012;Salm et al, 2012), these methods can only detect certain types of inversions and the error rate can be high. Currently, a small number of inversions have been genotyped by FISH (Antonacci et al, 2009;Salm et al, 2012) and regular or inverse PCR (iPCR) (Aguado et al, 2014;Pang et al, 2013;Vicente-Salvador et al, 2017), which are labour intensive and are limited by the characteristics of the inversion IRs. Therefore, although inversions affect a significant fraction of the human genome , only a few have been characterized in detail (Aguado et al, 2014;Antonacci et al, 2009;Pang et al, 2013;Puig et al, 2015b;Salm et al, 2012;Stefansson et al, 2005;Vicente-Salvador et al, 2017) and very little is known about the global frequency and distribution of inversions in human populations.…”
