The first draft diploid genome assembly (HuRef) of an individual in 2007 was a milestone in genomics. Here, we report HuRef2.0, a revision of HuRef assembled using only Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) Simplex-reads and the hifiasm assembler. Results are close in continuity to the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblie...

The integration of copy number variant (CNV) workflows into genome sequencing (GS) analysis pipelines allows for the identification of CNVs implicated in disease. Here, we generated a novel resource of CNVs identified in the HostSeq population cohort from Canada, identified the prevalence of recurrent CNVs associated w...

Pleiotropic and monotonic effects of gene dosage are central to understanding comorbidities in developmental pediatric and psychiatric disorders, yet the underlying biological processes are not well characterized. Here we develop a functional burden analysis to investigate the association of all protein-coding copy-num...

Advances in sequencing technology have enabled population-level Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) efforts to be undertaken in many countries. Often, this requires collaboration across a distributed network of sequencing centres to allow efficient use of existing resources. Previously we tested the robustness of short-read...

To investigate ancestry-specific genetic contributions to ASD, whole-genome sequencing data from three independent ASD cohorts was analyzed and admixture mapping identified five ancestry-specific ASD-susceptibility loci.

A significantly elevated genome-wide rare CNV burden in EAS cases compared with controls is observed, underscoring the importance of increasing population diversity to fully capture the genetic underpinnings of schizophrenia.
