The completion of the human genome significantly improved our ability to discover and interpret genome copy number variation. In order to understand its impact on the characterization of inversion polymorphisms, we remapped data from 41 human genomes and 10 new samples against the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genome as compared to the standard GRCh38 reference. Our analysis shows a ~21% increase in sensitivity identifying and improving mapping of 63 inversions. We further identify 26 misorientations within GRCh38, and show that the T2T reference is three times more likely to represent the correct orientation of the major human allele. As a result, we report a significant bias for inversions accumulating within the pericentromeric regions of specific chromosomes and show that functional annotations around inverted regions, such as topological-associated domains, can be better interpreted.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
