Single-cell analysis of C11

Somatic structural variants (SVs) are widespread in cancer genomes, however, their impact on tumorigenesis and intra-tumour heterogeneity is incompletely understood, since methods to functionally characterize the broad spectrum of SVs arising in cancerous single-cells are lacking. We present a computational method, scNOVA, that couples SV discovery with nucleosome occupancy analysis by haplotype-resolved single-cell sequencing, to systematically uncover SV effects on gene activity.
