Structural variations (SVs) — genomic rearrangements such as insertions, deletions and duplications — represent an important class of genomic variation. These mutations have been associated with both genetic diseases (e.g., cancer) and promoting genetic diversity. The common approach to detecting SVs in an unknown genome involves sequencing fragments of the genome, comparing them to a reference genome, and predicting SVs based on identified discordant fragments. However, detecting SVs from traditional DNA sequencing is challenging due to the presence of errors and biases in the DNA sequencing process as well as problems aligning sequences to a reference genome. The majority of existing methods use hierarchical relationships to detect these genetic changes, but often post-process this information. Our work aims to improve on existing SV detection methods in three ways: First, we use a continuous relaxation of admissible solutions to apply gradient-based optimization techniques. Second, since SVs are rare, we incorporate an l\ sparsity-promoting penalty term. Third, we improve on our previous work by using a block-coordinate descent approach to predict variants in families of individuals. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on a variety of simulated datasets and real genomes of a two parent-two child family.
