As part of #gnomAD v4, in collaboration with the Talkowski Lab, we have released 1,199,117 genome SVs and 66,903 rare exome CNVs. These data represent the first gnomAD SV dataset released native to the GRCh38 reference genome. (1/2)
I’ll be at my poster 4876 for this session about a predictor for future Mendelian disease genes. How many do you think there are? #ASHG23 GREGoR Consortium
