Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are widely used in clinical and research settings, yet their use for detecting somatic mutations from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is hindered by artefactual mutations introduced by cytosine deamination and strand-specific damage. Existing FFPE noise-filtering tools are tailored to DNA sequencing (DNA-seq) and rely on strand bias, rendering them unsuitable...
