Summary: Accurately discover viral integration events and fusion transcripts by the use of soft-clipping information, read-pair analysis, and targeted de novo assembly

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

ViralFusionSeq (VFS) is a versatile high-throughput sequencing (HTS) tool for discovering viral integration events and reconstruct fusion transcripts at single-base resolution.

VFS combines soft-clipping information, read-pair analysis, and targeted de novo assembly to discover and annotate viral-human fusion events.

A simple yet effective empirical statistical model is used to evaluate the quality of fusion breakpoints.

Minimal user defined parameters are required.

Source code with User manual and features comparison with VirusSeq is available at "Files" and "Blog" in sourceforge,respectively
