摘要

For the detection of somatic structural variation (SV) in cancer genomes, long-read sequencing is advantageous over short-read sequencing with respect to mappability and variant phasing. However, most current long-read SV detection methods are not developed for the analysis of tumor genomes characterized by complex rearrangements and heterogeneity. Here, we present Severus, a breakpoint graph-based algorithm for somatic SV calling from long-read cancer sequencing. Severus works with matching normal samples, supports unbalanced cancer karyotypes, can characterize complex multibreak SV patterns and produces haplotype-specific calls. On a comprehensive multitechnology cell line panel, Severus consistently outperforms other long-read and short-read methods in terms of SV detection F1 score (harmonic mean of the precision and recall). We also illustrate that compared to long-read methods, short-read sequencing systematically misses certain classes of somatic SVs, such as insertions or clustered rearrangements. We apply Severus to several clinical cases of pediatric leukemia/lymphoma, revealing clinically relevant cryptic rearrangements missed by standard genomic panels.
