This document describes SVMerge, a meta structural variant calling pipeline that integrates multiple SV detection methods and uses local assembly to validate calls. It summarizes SVMerge's workflow of running various SV callers individually on BAM files, merging and validating calls using local de novo assembly. The document also provides examples of how SVMerge was applied to a HapMap trio dataset, demonstrating it discovered more SVs than individual callers and had a low false positive rate compared to a curated database. Future work areas are identified like cataloging complex SV events and improving heterozygous call support.
