Comprehensive evaluation of structural variation detection algorithms for whole genome sequencing

Abstract Background Structural variations (SVs) or copy number variations (CNVs) greatly impact the functions of the genes encoded in the genome and are responsible for diverse human diseases. Although a number of existing SV detection algorithms can detect many types of SVs using whole genome seque...
