Genome Res
. 2011 Apr;
21(6):830-9.
PMID: 21460062
Human genetic variation is expected to play a central role in personalized medicine. Yet only a fraction of the natural genetic variation that is harbored by humans has been discovered...

. 2010 Sep;
19(R2):R131-6.
PMID: 20858594
In this review, we focus on progress that has been made with detecting small insertions and deletions (INDELs) in human genomes. Over the past decade, several million small INDELs have...

Genome Res
. 2006 Aug;
16(9):1182-90.
PMID: 16902084
Although many studies have been conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in humans, few studies have been conducted to identify alternative forms of natural genetic variation, such as insertion...

Am J Hum Genet
. 2006 Mar;
78(4):671-9.
PMID: 16532396
Transposable genetic elements are abundant in the genomes of most organisms, including humans. These endogenous mutagens can alter genes, promote genomic rearrangements, and may help to drive the speciation of...
