Long-read sequencing of 3,622 Icelanders provides insight into the role of structural variants in human diseases and other traits

…, H Ingimundardottir, A Oddsson, HP Eggertsson… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Long-read sequencing (LRS) promises to improve the characterization of structural variants
(SVs). We generated LRS data from 3,622 Icelanders and identified a median of 22,636 SVs …

Differences between germline genomes of monozygotic twins

H Jonsson, E Magnusdottir, HP Eggertsson… - Nature Genetics, 2021 - nature.com
Despite the important role that monozygotic twins have played in genetics research, little is
