In IGV what does a variant found only in white space denote. I don't think its real but trying to figure it out. For example, in the attached all the C are located in the white space. Thank you

I'm not sure because the fill can be set via preferences to denote various characteristics of the read. But it is attractive to think that it might denote in this case a failure to map the paired read? Attractive because that would suggest that the locus has a paralog elsewhere in the genome with a slightly different sequence.

The default meaning for a white read with a grey outline is that the read cannot be uniquely mapped. it can be mapped to more than 1 location.Comment

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
