Copy number variation (CNV) is an important part of human genetic variations, which is associated with various kinds of diseases. To tackle the limitations of traditional CNV detection methods, such as restricted detection types, high error rates, and challenges in precisely identifying the location of variant breakpoints, a new method called MSCNV (copy number variations detection method for multi-strategies integration based on a one-class support vector machine model) is proposed. MSCNV establishes a multi-signal channel that integrates three strategies: read depth, split read, and read pair.

Background: Tandem duplication (TD) is a common and important type of structural variation in the human genome. TDs have been shown to play an essential role in many diseases, including cancer. However, it is difficult to accurately detect TDs due to the uneven distribution of reads and the inherent complexity of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data.

Copy number variations (CNVs) significantly influence the diversity of the human genome and the occurrence of many complex diseases. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides rich data for detecting CNVs, and the read depth (RD)-based approach is widely used. However, low CN (copy number of 3-4) duplication events are challenging to identify with existing methods, especially when the size of CNVs is small.
