The container track brings together structural variant (SV) callsets from 14 long-read sequencing studies worldwide into a single place where you can compare large genomic rearrangements (deletions, insertions, duplications, inversions, and complex events) across populations, cohorts, and calling strategies. Long-read technologies span repetitive regions and resolve complex loci that are difficult to detect with short reads, giving more precise breakpoints and better sensitivity for large variants.
