svCapture

The svCapture pipeline and app combine two functionalities - error-correction and SV junction identification - optimized for detecting rare structural variants (SVs) in short-read, whole-genome sequencing libraries subjected to target capture, typically by probe hybridization.

The motivation for svCapture was to extend the principles of error-corrected duplex sequencing to SVs, beyond SNVs/indels. Doing so requires careful attention to the distinct error modes by which false SVs and SNVs arise, and simultaneous bookkeeping of both source molecule DNA strands and alignment discontinuities. Once satisfied, confident detection of even single-molecule, nonhomologous SVs can be asserted.
