Fig. 2. Methodology to identify and catalog palindromic variations in personal genomes.

Fig. 2

a The steps involved in computing palindromes in personal genomes, identifying and cataloging palindromic variations with respect to the reference genome, and applications of the methodology are shown in the schematic diagram. Further, the specific methods that were followed to b align palindromes in the personal genomes to those in the reference genome and c catalog palindromic changes across individuals are shown. *The newly inserted nucleotide creates a gap between the complementary halves and fails to create a palindrome that fits our definition.
