Structural variant map of 467,152 UK Biobank genomes ties rare DNA rearrangements to disease

Co-led the structural variant study

AstraZeneca's genomics team scanned 467,152 UK Biobank genomes for structural variants, the large DNA rearrangements most studies skip, and tied them to disease and blood proteins. It is the largest phenome-wide map of structural variants published so far.
