any tutorials for structural variants filtering and prioritization

Outputs from structural variants callers like breakdancer, lumpy and delly contains false positives.

How do you filter out those false positives and then prioritize the SVs? Anyone has a good resources or experiences on that ?

Thanks!

Any idea how you would filter predictions from breakdancer?

One simple way is filter the output based on prediction score and read counts

# $9= prediction score
# $10= supporting reads

cat libraryP1.ctx | awk 'BEGIN {OFS="\t"} { if ($9 >= 40 && $10 >= 5) { print $0 }}' | wc -l
