Improved detection of clinically relevant fusion transcripts in cancer by machine learning classification

Abstract Background Genomic rearrangements in cancer cells can create fusion genes that encode chimeric proteins or alter the expression of coding and non-coding RNAs. In some cancer types, fusions involving specific kinases are used as targets for therapy. Fusion genes can be detected by whole geno...
