FusionQ v.5
:: DESCRIPTION
FusionQ is a novel fusion detection tool based on paired-end RNA-Seq data. This tool can detect gene fusions, construct the structures of chimerical transcripts, and estimate their abundances. This tool employs a new approach, “residual sequence extension”, which extends the short segments of the reads by aggregating their overlapping reads. A list of filters are proposed to control the false-positive rate.
