Abstract 3608: Detection of somatic structural variants using nanopore sequencing

Structural variants (SVs) are a hallmark of human cancer, but remain difficult to reliably and accurately detect with next generation sequencing (NGS). This is in part due to the difficult in mapping NGS9s short reads ( Citation Format: Alexis L. Norris, Rachael E. Workman, Yunfan Fan, James R. Eshleman, Winston Timp.
