    queries about tophat fusion output

    I have some queries about result.html, http://tophat-fusion.sourceforge.net/data/result.html, explanations of which I do not understand

    9. Number of spanning mate pairs
    10. Number of spanning mate pairs where one end spans a fusion
    11. If you follow the the 9th column, it shows coordinates "number1:number2" where one end is located at a distance of "number1" bases from the left genomic coordinate of a fusion and "number2" is similarly defined

    Am I right to say that 9. represents the number of paired ends, with one end totally on one chromosome of a fusion, and the other totally on the other chromosome of a fusion?

    Would I also be right to say that 10. is the same as 9., except that 9. has no end spanning a fusion, and 10. has one end spanning. Which is to say that 9. and 10. are mutually exclusive.

    Given the above definitions, from the eg in result.html

    4. chr20-chr20 rf

    MCF7
    SULF2
    chr20

    27

    chr20

    11
    18
    14

    22 sets the limit on the number of reads spanning a fusion, why is the number 27 greater than 22?

    For 11. is it possible to give an illustration of what exactly you mean? I did the math by adding the genomic coordinate to the number and compared it to the coordinates in the reads section but the numbers do not match up. Also what is the difference between – and + number1 and number2

    Really grateful if you can enlighten me!
    i have tried looking at the documentation but it is cryptic. i hope i am not sounding just at cryptic trying to put across concepts that require illustration.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
