annoFuse: an R Package to annotate, prioritize, and interactively explore putative oncogenic RNA fusions

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gene fusion events are significant sources of somatic variation across adult and pediatric cancers and are some of the most clinically-effective therapeutic targets, yet low consensus of RNA-Seq fusion prediction algorithms makes therapeutic prioritization difficult. In addition, events such as polymerase read-throughs, mis-mapping due to gene homology, and fusions occurring in healthy normal tissue...
