- Description:
- The presence of large repeats at the breakpoints hinders the analysis of many structural variants. This is especially problematic for inversions, in which typically there is no gain or loss of DNA. Here, we tested novel linkage-based droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays for 20 inversions ranging in size from 3.1 to 742 kb and flanked by inverted repeats up to 134-kb long. We validated 13 inversions predicted by genome-wide techniques and generated experimental population genotyping data across 95 individuals for 18 of them. Most inversions are widespread and recurrent. Thanks to this method complex genomic variants can be screened quickly in a large number of samples for the first time.
