High throughput long-read single cell RNA sequencing allows for fusion gene discovery in thousands of cells in parallel, which is however constrained by the lack of robust computational tools. Here, we develop LongFUSE that employs the XOR logic operation and stringent filtering criteria for the accurate detection of cell-specific fusion genes and their splicing isoforms. LongFUSE outperforms existing tools in both simulation and real data, demonstrating high accuracy and robustness.

"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.
