Structural variant detection in cancer genomes: computational challenges and perspectives for precision oncology

Abstract Cancer is generally characterized by acquired genomic aberrations in a broad spectrum of types and sizes, ranging from single nucleotide variants to structural variants (SVs). At least 30% of cancers have a known pathogenic SV used in diagnosis or treatment stratification. However, research...
