[siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Video”][/siteorigin_widget] CNV analysis based on NGS data: has the dream come true? The term Copy Number Variations (CNVs) is traditionally referring to intermediate-scale large deletions/duplications of 1 kb to 5 kb in size. However, in practice, when the analysis is based on data from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), CNV is used every day more

CNVs: a universe of variations

Defning CNVs Genetic variants of the human genome can differ very much in size. From the smallest ones (variants affecting on single nucleotide: Single Nucleotide Variations – SNVs) to the largest ones (variants affecting the shape and number of an entire chromosome), everything can stay in the middle. Variants comprised between 1,000 bp (1Kb) and
