The exponential growth of population-scale whole-genome sequencing and rapid innovations in long-read sequencing technologies provide unprecedented opportunities to study TE insertions and their functional impact in human health and disease. Identifying TE insertions, however, is challenging due to the repetitive nature of the TE sequences. Here, we review computational approaches to detecting and genotyping TE insertions using short- and long-read sequencing and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC. %B Curr Protoc Hum Genet %V 107 %P e102 %8 2020 09 %G eng %N 1 %1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32662945?dopt=Abstract %R 10.1002/cphg.102
