Abstract:Structural variation within and between Great Ape genomes affects more nucleotides than single‐base variation, yet its extent and phenotypic consequences are much less well understood. The most‐studied structural variants are copy number variations (CNVs) which can be generated by several different mechanisms including non‐allelic homologous recombination, non‐homologous end‐joining and
deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) replication‐related fork stalling and template switching. CNVs are cl… Show more
