AsmVar demo plot of novel sequence identified in this study. a Distribution of the novel sequence insertions (> = 100 bp) over the different human chromosomes, with their mechanisms of origin (NAHR, NHR, VNTR) and their ancestral states (deletion and insertion) shown from outside to inside. b Total length (x-axis) and distribution of the closest relativeness of the nomadic novel sequence. NAHR, non-allelic homologous recombination; NHR, non-homologous recombination; TEI, transposable element insertion; VNTR, variable number of tandem repeats
