Repetitive elements make up over 50% of the human genome. Recent advances in long-read sequencing experimental approaches and data analysis algorithms have made it possible to characterize these ...
An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.
Robertsonian chromosomes (ROB) are a type of structurally variant chromosome that is created when two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. Found commonly in nature, these chromosomes are ...
Imagine your DNA as a set of shoelaces. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the ends of those shoelaces, preventing them from fraying and unraveling. Structurally, telomeres are repetitive ...
