Structural Genome Variation

We are pleased to announce the publication of a supplement devoted to structural variation in the human genome. This special issue contains comprehensive overviews of each aspect of this burgeoning area in the study of human genetic variation as well as standards and guidelines for future research.

    Over the past several decades, classical molecular biology and cytogenetic techniques have enabled the study of DNA sequence variation at the smallest and largest scales of size. Between these two extremes, and beyond the reach of classical approaches, lay, until very recently, a largely uncharted realm involving variation of intermediate scale. Advances in technology have now begun to reveal this treasure-trove of large-scale, submicroscopic variation, and the impact on the field of human genetics has been dynamic and far-reaching.
