The importance of SVs has been well demonstrated from several individual genetic studies. Yet, researches in systematic documentation of SVs with long-read sequencing are still limited due to the technical limitations. Using ONT long-read sequencing, we present here the identification of over 400K insertion and deletion among 141 maize. These SVs are frequently located in gene-rich regions, therefore have an enormous contribution to maize domestication and breeding improvement.
