Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for identification of junctions (e.g., resulting from large-scale rearrangements) of a sequenced genome with respect to a human genome reference sequence is provided. For example, false positives can be distinguished from actual junctions. Such false positives can result from many sources, including mismapping, chimeric reactions among the DNA of a sample, and problems with the reference genome. As part of the filtering processes, a base pair resolution (or near base pair resolution) of a junction can be provided. In various implementations, junctions can be identified using discordant mate pairs and/or using a statistical analysis of the length distributions of fragments for local regions of the sample genome. Clinically significant junctions can also be identified so that further analysis can be focused on genomic regions that may have more of an impact on the health of a patient.

Determining the clinical significance of variant sequences

TL;DR: In this paper, the clinical significance of a variant nucleic acid sequence was determined by determining the equivalent indel region (EIR) of the variant sequence, identifying a functional region including at least a portion of the EIR, and associating the associated EIR with the identified functional region.

Paired-end mapping reveals extensive structural variation in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-throughput and massive paired-end mapping (PEM) was used to map SVs in an African and in a putatively European individual and identified shared and divergent SVs relative to the reference genome, documenting that the number of SVs among humans is much larger than initially hypothesized; many of the SVs potentially affect gene function.
