Running times and memory usage on HG001 of the tested tools

Tool	Time	Memory (GB)
DD_DETECTION	2 days 16 h 33 min	22
Delly	1 days 2 h 24 min	1.4
Lumpy	10 h 44 min	27
MELT	10 h 30 min	35
Mobster	6 h 14 min	38
Retroseq	1 days 4 h 31 min	1.9
Socrates	1 h 9 min	38
TranSurVeyor	2 h 6 min	12

TranSurVeyor is much faster than any other tool except for Socrates; however, as reported in ‘Results’ section, TranSurVeyor predictions are far more accurate than Socrates. TranSurVeyor also uses considerably less memory than the other tools except for Delly and Retroseq.
