A Worldwide Map of Human Structural Variants [PDF]
Genomic variation extends from single nucleotide variants to large chromosomal rearrangements, but the extent of structural variation in Homo sapiens is still unclear. Almarri et al. provide a worldwide catalogue of structural variants present in human populations.

VarSite: Disease variants and protein structure [PDF]
AbstractVarSite is a web server mapping known disease‐associated variants from UniProt and ClinVar, together with natural variants from gnomAD, onto protein 3D structures in the Protein Data Bank. The analyses are primarily image‐based and provide both an overview for each human protein, as well as a report for any specific variant of interest.

Structural variant identification and characterization
Structural variant (SV) differences between human genomes can cause germline and mosaic disease as well as inter-individual variation. De-regulation of accurate DNA repair and genomic surveillance mechanisms results in a large number of SVs in cancer. Analysis of the DNA sequences at SV breakpoints can help identify pathways of mutagenesis and regions ...

The effects of common structural variants on 3D chromatin structure [PDF]
Abstract Background Three-dimensional spatial organization of chromosomes is defined by highly self-interacting regions 0.1–1 Mb in size termed Topological Associating Domains (TADs). Genetic factors that explain dynamic variation in TAD structure are not understood.
