Fig. 2From: Detection and visualization of complex structural variants from long readsPairwise alignments of sequences containing structural variation (vertical axis) against a reference sequence (horizontal axis). Diagonal lines indicate alignment matches; horizontal gaps correspond to deletions with respect to the reference; and vertical gaps correspond to insertions with respect to the reference. a Simple deletion, b simple insertion, c simple inversion, d dispersed duplication, e tandem duplication, f loss of repetitive sequence, g gain of repetitive sequence, h deletion with breakpoints in repetitive sequence. Note that in the last three examples there are multiple pairs of breakpoint coordinates that would result in the same observed rearrangementBack to article page
