Somatic haplotype reconstruction and variant recalibration from tumor-only long-read sequencing

Separating somatic from germline variants and reconstructing somatic haplotypes are the two central problems of tumor-only cancer genome analysis. Long reads carry the linkage needed to solve both, but chromosome-scale loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and an unknown degree of normal-cell admixture blur the distinction between somatic and germline haplotypes. Here we present LongPhase-TO, the first…
