research on human cancer genomes has identified patterns of somatic structural variation, with studies utilizing various methods such as nanopore sequencing and long-read sequencing to analyze these variations. the impact of somatic structural variation on the cancer proteome is being explored, and different techniques, including clustering and graph mining, are being used to classify complex structural variations. the detection and characterization of structural variations in cancer genomes is an area of ongoing research, with some studies suggesting that most large structural variants can be detected without long reads, while others highlight the importance of considering complex de novo structural variants.
