Structural Variations (SVs) and Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are a major source of genomic variation. However, compared to SNPs, accurate detection, genotyping and understanding of CNVs is lagging behind due to much greater analytical challenges related to SV/CNV detection and analysis. In our lab we analyse SVs/CNVs using high-throughput sequencing and different analytical approaches. Related tools, databases and publications are listed below.
