Figure 2. Sequenced structural variant alleles.

Figure 2

(A) Size distribution for 1,054 sequenced structural variants. Insertions, deletions, and inversions relative to the genome reference assembly are depicted separately. Note that the bins are not of equal sizes. The mean size of the sequenced variants is 14.9 kb for deletions, 6.1 kb for insertions, and 196 kb for inversions. Our variant selection methodology can only identify deletions larger than ~5 kb and insertions from ~5 kb to ~40 kb in size and is biased against inversions smaller than ~40 kb. (B) The relationship between the donor site of transduced sequences and LINE insertion position are given for 30 events with a match to hg18 using BLAT. Relationships are shown for 20 LINE insertions in library source individuals relative to the reference (blue lines) and for 10 insertions in the genome reference (red lines). The blue circles represent three different loci associated with multiple distinct LINE insertions. See also Figure S1 and Table S1.
