摘要: Background Until recently, chromosomal translocations and fusion genes have been an underappreciated class of mutations in solid tumors. Next-generation sequencing technologies provide opportunity for systematic characterization cancer cell transcriptomes, including the discovery expressed resulting from underlying genomic rearrangements.
