structural variations were classified as biallelic if two paths were observed in a bubble and multiallelic if a bubble contained more than two paths. The structural variations were further classified into:
Alternate deletion: when the nonreference path was shorter than the reference path (but the reference path has nonzero length) (这里是不是写错了 是不是应该是 nonreference path has nonzero length)
complete deletion: when the nonreference path has a length of zero
Alternate insertion: when the nonreference path was longer than the reference path (这里是不是应该标注the reference path has nonzero length)
complete insertion: when the reference path has a length of zero, the nonreference path was longer than teh reference path
