AB Detecting structural variation (SV) in eukaryotic genomes is of broad interest due to its often dramatic phenotypic effects, but remains a major, costly challenge based on DNA sequencing data. A cost-effective alternative in detecting large-scale SV has become available with advances in optical mapping technology. However, the algorithmic approaches to identifying SVs from optical mapping data are limited. Here, we propose a novel, open-source SV detection tool, OptiDiff, which employs a single molecule based approach to detect and classify homozygous and heterozygous SVs at coverages as low as 20x, showing better performance than the state of the art.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
