tlooto Summary

It is demonstrated that an RNA fusion panel can be enhanced to identify small nucleotide variants to maximise the utility of this panel.

Abstract

RNA‐based fusion panels using targeted next‐generation sequencing of formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tumour tissue specimens are used for various tumour types to detect rearrangements/fusions. Using bioinformatic approaches, the data obtained from RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) can also be used for small nucleotide variants analysis (single nucleotide variants and indels).
