Accuracy assessment of fusion transcript detection via read-mapping and de novo fusion transcript assembly-based methods

Abstract Background Accurate fusion transcript detection is essential for comprehensive characterization of cancer transcriptomes. Over the last decade, multiple bioinformatic tools have been developed to predict fusions from RNA-seq, based on either read mapping or de novo fusion transcript assembl...
