JuLI: accurate detection of DNA fusions in clinical sequencing for precision oncology

Accurate detection of genomic fusions by high-throughput sequencing in clinical samples with inadequate tumor purity and formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue is an essential task in precise oncology. We developed the fusion detection algorithm Junction Location Identifier for optimization of high-depth clinical sequencing. Novel filtering steps were implemented to minimize false positives in clinical setting. The algorithm was comprehensively validated using high-depth sequencing data from cancer cell lines and clinical samples and genome sequencing data from NA12878.
