Abstract excerpt
Long-read sequencing enables improved detection of structural variants (SVs) in the human genome due to its substantially increased read lengths. However, currently widely used long-read SV callers primarily rely on alignment-based evidence, limiting their ability to detect large and complex SVs and potentially missing disease-relevant events. To address these limitations, we developed ContextSV, a framework that...
