Comparisons of performances of structural variants detection algorithms in solitary or combination strategy.

ABSTRACT: Structural variants (SVs) have been associated with changes in gene expression, which may contribute to alterations in phenotypes and disease development. However, the precise identification and characterization of SVs remain challenging. While long-read sequencing offers superior accuracy for SV detection, short-read sequencing remains essential due to practical and cost considerations, as well as the need to analyze existing short-read datasets. Numerous algorithms for short-read SV detection exist, but none are universally optimal, each having limitations for specific SV sizes and types. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of six advanced SV detection algorithms, including the commercial software DRAGEN, using the GIAB v0.6 Tier 1 benchmark and HGSVC2 cell lines. We employed both i
