RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 SVCollector: Optimized sample selection for validating and long-read resequencing of structural variants JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 342386 DO 10.1101/342386 A1 Fritz J.

Schatz YR 2018 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/06/08/342386.abstract AB Summary Structural Variations (SVs) are increasingly recognized for their importance in genomics. Short-read sequencing is the most widely-used approach for genotyping large numbers of samples for SVs but suffers from relatively poor accuracy. Here we present SVCollector, an open-source method that optimally selects samples to maximize variant discovery and validation using long read resequencing or PCR-based validation. SVCollector has two modes: selecting those samples that are individually the most diverse or those that collectively capture the largest number of variations.Availability https://github.com/fritzsedlazeck/SVCollectorContact fritz.sedlazeck{at}bcm.eduSupplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
