Mobile Element Insertions
The general purpose SV routine can detect Mobile Element Insertions (MEIs) with assembled inserted sequences like other regular insertions. If missed by the general purpose SV routine, MEIs will be rescued by the MEI specific routine based on similarity between assembled contigs and known sequences in the MEI catalog.
Recall for HG002 NIST v0.6 MEI (Wittyer v0.5.4.1):
