1Inclusion criteria: published tool focussed on tumor-specific SV detection in cancer from tumor-normal paired WGS data, used in key studies addressed in this review. Long-read alignment based SV detection tools that are commonly used are included regardless of their ability to detect tumor-specific SVs.
