The paper assembles and characterizes 2,110 human centromeres, revealing novel haplotypes, mobile element insertions, and mutation rate variation across chromosomes.

gaftools provides utilities for processing graph alignments in GAF format, adapting SAMtools functionalities for pangenome analysis.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to characterize structural variants in 1,019 samples from the 1000 Genomes Project, identifying 167,291 sequence-resolved SVs and highlighting their genomic and functional implications.

SVarp discovers haplotype-resolved structural variants using a pangenome reference and long reads, achieving high recall in simulated and real data.
