Description:
Structural variation of the genome involves kilobase- to megabase-sized deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, and complex combinations of rearrangements. We introduce high-throughput and massive paired-end mapping (PEM), a large-scale genome-sequencing method to identify structural variants (SVs) approximately 3 kilobases (kb) or larger that combines the rescue and capture of paired ends of 3-kb fragments, massive 454 sequencing, and a computational approach to map DNA reads onto a reference genome. PEM was used to map SVs in an African and in a putatively European individual and identified shared and divergent SVs relative to the reference genome. Overall, we fine-mapped more than 1000 SVs and documented that the number of SVs among humans is much larger than initially hypothesized; many of the SVs potentially affect gene function. The breakpoint junction sequences of more than 200 SVs were determined with a novel pooling strategy and computational analysis. Our analysis provided insights into the mechanisms of SV formation in humans.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2674581/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2674581/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Korbel, Jan O -- Urban, Alexander Eckehart -- Affourtit, Jason P -- Godwin, Brian -- Grubert, Fabian -- Simons, Jan Fredrik -- Kim, Philip M -- Palejev, Dean -- Carriero, Nicholas J -- Du, Lei -- Taillon, Bruce E -- Chen, Zhoutao -- Tanzer, Andrea -- Saunders, A C Eugenia -- Chi, Jianxiang -- Yang, Fengtang -- Carter, Nigel P -- Hurles, Matthew E -- Weissman, Sherman M -- Harkins, Timothy T -- Gerstein, Mark B -- Egholm, Michael -- Snyder, Michael -- 077008/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077014/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- RR19895/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Oct 19;318(5849):420-6.
