FusionCatcher– a tool for finding somatic fusion genes in paired-end RNA-sequencing data

Abstract FusionCatcher is a software tool for finding somatic fusion genes in paired-end RNA-sequencing data from human or other vertebrates. FusionCatcher achieves competitive detection rates and real-time PCR validation rates in RNA-sequencing data from tumor cells. Fusion-Catcher is available at http://code.google.com/p/fusioncatcher/ .
