Show abstract
The advent of single-molecule third generation sequencing technologies provide new possibilities for the detection of fusion transcripts in sequencing data. Here, we test three long-read fusions detection tools on simulated data, compare various tooling parameters and compare the performance between long-read and short-read fusion detection tools. We also use our fusion transcript detection pipeline to describe fusions transcripts detected in U87 and U937 glioblastoma cell lines. We find that LongGF is the most capable of the long-read fusion detection tools at identifying the most simulated fusion transcripts. While the short read fusion transcript detection tool, Arriba, had similar recall to some of the long-read tools, its precision was found to be much lower. Several fusions with ample evidence were found in U87 and U937 cell lines.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
