The complete sequence of a human genome

…, JMD Wood, C Xiao, SM Yan, AC Young, S Zarate… - Science, 2022 - science.org
Since its initial release in 2000, the human reference genome has covered only the
euchromatic fraction of the genome, leaving important heterochromatic regions unfinished. …

A complete reference genome improves analysis of human genetic variation

S Aganezov, SM Yan, DC Soto, M Kirsche, S Zarate… - Science, 2022 - science.org
Compared to its predecessors, the Telomere-to-Telomere CHM13 genome adds nearly 200
million base pairs of sequence, corrects thousands of structural errors, and unlocks the most …

The complete sequence of a human Y chromosome

…, MH Weissensteiner, AM Wenger, MA Wilson, S Zarate… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
The human Y chromosome has been notoriously difficult to sequence and assemble
because of its complex repeat structure that includes long palindromes, tandem repeats and …

[PDF][PDF] Inverting the model of genomics data sharing with the NHGRI Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space

…, K Suderman, N Kucher, S Golitsynskiy, S Zarate… - Cell Genomics, 2022 - cell.com
The NHGRI Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL;

[PDF][PDF] Benchmarking challenging small variants with linked and long reads

…, B Yoo, N Miller, JA Rosenfeld, B Ni, S Zarate… - Cell Genomics, 2022 - cell.com
Genome in a Bottle benchmarks are widely used to help validate clinical sequencing pipelines
and develop variant calling and sequencing methods. Here we use accurate linked and …

Parliament2: Accurate structural variant calling at scale

S Zarate, A Carroll, M Mahmoud, O Krasheninina… - …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Background Structural variants (SVs) are critical contributors to genetic diversity and genomic
disease. To predict the phenotypic impact of SVs, there is a need for better estimates of …

[HTML][HTML] A diploid assembly-based benchmark for variants in the major histocompatibility complex

…, M Rautiainen, S Aganezov, M Kirsche, S Zarate… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Most human genomes are characterized by aligning individual reads to the reference genome,
but accurate long reads and linked reads now enable us to construct accurate, phased …

[HTML][HTML] Hidden biases in germline structural variant detection

MM Khayat, SME Sahraeian, S Zarate, A Carroll… - Genome biology, 2021 - Springer
Background Genomic structural variations (SV) are important determinants of genotypic and
phenotypic changes in many organisms. However, the detection of SV from next-generation …

Concerning the eXclusion in human genomics: the choice of sex chromosome representation in the human genome drastically affects the number of identified variants

…, B O'Connor, MC Schatz, S Zarate… - G3: Genes …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Over the past 30 years, a community of scientists has pieced together every base pair of the
human reference genome from telomere to telomere. Interestingly, most human genomics …

Parliament2: fast structural variant calling using optimized combinations of callers

S Zarate, A Carroll, O Krashenina, FJ Sedlazeck, G Jun… - BioRxiv, 2018 - biorxiv.org
Here we present Parliament2 – a structural variant caller which combines multiple best-in-class
structural variant callers to create a highly accurate callset. This captures more events …
