Abstract
Non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) plays a major role in genome rearrangement and is implicated in numerous genetic disorders. But detection of NAHR poses a serious technical challenge because its breakpoints occur in nearly identical regions of highly homologous repeats. While a few structural variation algorithms identify rearrangements in repeat regions, reliable detection of NAHR remains out of reach. We present a probabilistic model of NAHR and demonstrate its ability to find previously-undetected NAHR rearrangements from low coverage sequencing data. We identify a reliable subset of calls and discuss their significance: segregation of NAHR in different populations, effects on highly studied genes such as GBA and CYP2E1, and associated features of NAHR.
