Research on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the
importance of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are gains and losses of genomic sequence greater than 50
bp between two individuals of a species. While single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are …

Predicting how species will respond to future climate change is of central importance in the
midst of the global biodiversity crisis, and recent work has demonstrated the utility of …

Multipartite viruses have a genome divided into several nucleic acid segments, each
encapsidated separately. An evident cost for these viral systems, particularly if some …

While single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is typically the variant of choice for population
genetics, copy number variation (CNV) which comprises insertion, deletion and duplication …

Duplicate genes emerge as copy-number variations (CNVs) at the population level, and
remain copy-number polymorphic until they are fixed or lost. The successful establishment of …

Background CNV comprises a large proportion in cattle genome and is associated with
various traits. However, there were few population-scale comparison studies on cattle CNV …

If copy number variants (CNVs) are predominantly deleterious, we would expect them to be
more efficiently purged from populations with a large effective population size (N e) than …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a potentially deadly opportunistic fungal pathogen. Molecular
studies have shaped our understanding of the genes, proteins, and molecules that …

Abstract Background Copy number variants (CNVs) are a class of structural variants (SVs)
and are defined as fragments of DNA that are present at variable copy number in …
