Systematic analysis of paralogous regions in 41,755 exomes uncovers clinically relevant variation

Abstract The short lengths of short-read sequencing reads challenge the analysis of paralogous genomic regions in exome and genome sequencing data. Most genetic variants within these homologous regions therefore remain unidentified in standard analyses. Here, we present a method (Chameleolyser) that...
