“The capability to accurately detect structural variants is transformative for clinical diagnostics. SAVANA could help us confidently identify genomic alterations relevant for diagnosis and prognosis.”
- Prof Adrienne Flanagan ⬇️

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

Long-read 🧬sequencing reveals hidden cancer mutations, but existing tools often produce false positives.

SAVANA is a machine learning algorithm trained on cancer genomes, built to make analysis faster and clinically reliable.
