Barnacle: detecting and characterizing tandem duplications and fusions in transcriptome assemblies
14 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chimeric transcripts, including partial and internal tandem duplications (PTDs, ITDs) and gene fusions, are important in the detection, prognosis, and treatment of human cancers. RESULTS: We describe Barnacle, a production-grade analysis tool that detects such chimeras in de novo assemblies of RNA-seq data, and supports prioritizing them for review and validation by reporting the relative coverage of...
