The paper introduces GBZ-base and GAF-base, indexed pangenome file formats for efficient subgraph and alignment extraction.

460 haplotypes from 230 genomes, selected to maximize common-variant coverage, capture 99.43% of All of Us common small variants and halve structurally unreliable regions and base errors versus HPRC1.

The paper analyzes chromosome 22q11.2 haplotypes to show how structural variations in specific regions correlate with microdeletion and inversion risks across populations.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to identify pathogenic variants in autism cases, finding three pathogenic mutations and nine candidate structural variants missed by short-read sequencing.

This study shows that excessive microglial proliferation in Alzheimer's disease leads to replicative senescence and disease-associated microglia, contributing to Aβ pathology.
