Introduction

Long-read sequencing enables the comprehensive discovery of structural variations (SVs). However, it is still non-trivial to achieve high sensitivity and performance simultaneously due to the complex SV characteristics implied by noisy long reads. Therefore, we propose cuteSV, a sensitive, fast and scalable long-read-based SV detection approach. cuteSV uses tailored methods to collect the signatures of various types of SVs and employs a clustering-and-refinement method to analyze the signatures to implement sensitive SV detection. Benchmarks on real Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) datasets demonstrate that cuteSV has better yields and scalability than state-of-the-art tools.

The benchmark results of cuteSV on the HG002 human sample are below:

BTW, we used Truvari to calculate the recall, precision, and f-measure. For more detailed implementation of SV benchmarks, we show an example here.

Datasets generated from cuteSV

We provided the SV callsets of the HG002 human sample produced by cuteSV form three different long-read sequencing platforms (i.e. PacBio CLR, PacBio CCS, and ONT PromethION).

You can download them at:

Please cite the manuscript of cuteSV before using these callsets.

Changelog

cuteSV (v1.0.4):
1.Add a new option for specificly setting the threshold of SV signals merging in the same read. The default parameter is 500 bp. You can reduce it for high-quality sequencing datasets like PacBio HiFi (CCS).
2.Make the genotyping function optional.
3.Enable users to set the threshold of SV allele frequency of homozygous/heterozygous.
4.Update the description of recommendation parameters in processing ONT data.

cuteSV (v1.0.3):
1.Refine the genotyping model.
2.Adjust the threshold value of heterozygosis alleles.

cuteSV (v1.0.2):
1.Improve the genotyping performance and enable it to be default option.
2.Make the description of parameters better.
3.Modify the header description of vcf file.
4.Add two new indicators, i.e., BREAKPOINT_STD and SVLEN_STD, to further characterise deletion and insertion.
5.Remove a few redundant functions which will reduce code readability.
