Gene fusion reporting
When using paired data, there is also an option to create a table summarizing the evidence for gene fusions. And example is shown in figure 27.10.
Figure 27.10: An example of a gene fusion table.
The table includes the following columns for each part of the pair:
- Gene. The name of the gene.
- Reference. The name of the reference sequence (typically the chromosome name).
- Position. The position of the gene.
- Strand. The strand of the gene.
Note that the reporting of gene fusions is very simple and should be analyzed in much greater detail before any evidence of gene fusions can be verified. The table should be considered more of a pointer to genes to explore rather than evidence of gene fusions.
