BreakFusion: Targeted Assembly-based Identification of Gene Fusions in Whole Transcriptome Paired-end Sequencing Data:
Summary: Despite recent progress, computational tools that identify gene fusions from next-generation whole transcriptome sequencing data are often limited in accuracy and scalability. Here we present a software package, BreakFusion that combines the strength of reference alignment followed by read-pair analysis and de novo assembly to achieve a good balance in sensitivity, specificity, and computational efficiency.
