MotivationLinked-reads enables genome-wide phased diploid assemblies. These haplotype-resolved assemblies allow us to genotype structural variants (SVs) with a high sensitivity and be able to further phase them. Yet, existing SV callers are designed for haploid genome assemblies only, and there is no tool to call SV from a large population of diploid assemblies which can define and refine SVs from a global view. ResultsWe introduce MARS (Multiple Alignment-based Refinement of Svs) in linked-reads for the detection of the most common SV types - indels from diploid genome assemblies of a large population. We evaluated SVs from MARS based on Mendelian law of inheritance and PacBio HiFi reads and it achieved a high validation rate around 73%-87% for indels that we have selected from 34 assembled samples.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
