Article Abstract

The telomere-to-telomere (T2T) complete human reference has significantly improved our ability to characterize genome structural variation. To understand its impact on inversion polymorphisms, we remapped data from 41 genomes against the T2T reference genome and compared it to the GRCh38 reference. We find a ~ 21% increase in sensitivity improving mapping of 63 inversions on the T2T reference. We identify 26 misorientations within GRCh38 and show that the T2T reference is three times more likely to represent the correct orientation of the major human allele. Analysis of 10 additional samples reveals novel rare inversions at chromosomes 15q25.2, 16p11.2, 16q22.1-23.1, and 22q11.21.

Human-associated metagenomic data often contain human nucleic acid information, which can affect the accuracy of microbial classification or raise ethical concerns. These reads are typically removed through alignment to the human genome using various metagenomic mapping tools or human reference genomes, followed by filtration before metagenomic analysis. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify the optimal combination of alignment software and human reference genomes using benchmarking data.

Departamento de Física, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Iztapalapa, Av. San Rafael Atlixco 186, Leyes de Reforma 1ra Secc, Iztapalapa, 09340, CDMX, Mexico.

Purpose: In this work, we applied the Chaos Game Representation (CGR) to the complete human genomic sequence T2T-CHM13v2.0, analyzing the entire chromosome assembly and individual chromosomes, including mitochondrial DNA, to characterize the fractal structure and multifractal spectra of the genome.

Methods: Multifractal spectra were determined using box-counting coverage.

As a protandrous hermaphroditic fish species with natural sex change from male to female, Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) represents an attractive model for studying sequential hermaphroditism. In this study, we constructed the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gap-free genome assembly of Asian seabass, by integration of MGI short-read, PacBio HiFi long-read, ONT ultra-long and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The haplotypic 614.

Background: Short-read genome sequencing (sr-GS) affords efficient and accurate characterisation of apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangement (ABCR) breakpoints except in 9%-11% of cases that remain undetectable.

Methods: Among 117 ABCR that we studied in patients with abnormal phenotype, 14 (11.9%) could not be detected by our current strategy including sr-GS, alignment against the GRCh38 reference genome and structural variant (SV) detection using Breakdancer V.
