Maize inbreds exhibit high levels of copy number variation (CNV) and presence/absence variation (PAV) in genome content.

Following the domestication of maize over the past approximately 10,000 years, breeders have exploited the extensive genetic diversity of this species to mold its phenotype to meet human needs. The extent of structural variation, including copy number variation (CNV) and presence/absence variation (...
