With longer (> 50 bp) fragment - end reads and / or paired - end libraries, it's possible to detect small insertion / deletion variants (indels) in next - gen sequencing data. (massgenomics.org)
Zinc finger nucleases [1], [2], transcription activator - like effector nucleases [3], [4] and homing meganucleases [5] have provided powerful tools to induce targeted mutations in the form of small insertions or deletions derived from DNA break repair of nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination.

In total, they detected more than 3.3 million SNPs, over 0.33 million small insertion and deletions (indels), and 594 presence - absence variations (PAVs), and then constructed a comprehensive variation map of cucumber. (sciencedaily.com)
