A map of constrained coding regions in the human genome

JM Havrilla, BS Pedersen, RM Layer, AR Quinlan - Nature genetics, 2019 - nature.com
Deep catalogs of genetic variation from thousands of humans enable the detection of
intraspecies constraint by identifying coding regions with a scarcity of variation. While existing …

Breakpoint profiling of 64 cancer genomes reveals numerous complex rearrangements spawned by homology-independent mechanisms

…, GG Faust, ML Leibowitz, RA Clark, RM Layer… - Genome …, 2013 - genome.cshlp.org

[HTML][HTML] The structural variation landscape in 492 Atlantic salmon genomes

AC Bertolotti, RM Layer, MK Gundappa… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Structural variants (SVs) are a major source of genetic and phenotypic variation, but remain
challenging to accurately type and are hence poorly characterized in most species. We …
