nstd76 (Watson et al. 2013)
- Organism:
- Human
- Study Type:
- Control Set
- Submitter:
- Corey Watson
- Description:
- The immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH) encodes variable (IGHV), diversity (IGHD), joining (IGHJ), and constant (IGHC) genes, and is responsible for antibody heavy chain biosynthesis. Using a hydatidiform mole BAC clone resource, and fosmid clone libraries from nine diploid genomes of diverse ethnic origin, we have characterized 9 large structural variants (4 insertions; 1 tandem duplication; 2 deletions; 2 complex events) in this region at nucleotide resolution, accounting for over 220 Kbp of novel sequence. See Variant Summary counts for nstd76 in dbVar Variant Summary.
