  • Methods and systems for identifying putative fusion transcripts, polypeptides encoded therefrom and polynucleotide sequences related thereto and methods and kits utilizing same
    Publication number: 20040110227
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of identifying putative fusion transcripts. The method comprises: (a) computationally aligning a first database of annotated polynucleotide sequences with a second database of expressed polynucleotide sequences; and (b) identifying in the second database an expressed polynucleotide sequence complementary to at least two non-contiguous sequences of the first database, the at least two non-contiguous sequences being selected from the group consisting of non-homologous polynucleotide sequences mapped to different chromosomes, polynucleotide sequences mapped to different loci of a single chromosome and polynucleotide sequences mapped to a single locus and not being a part of a splice isoform, the expressed polynucleotide sequence identified being a putative fusion transcript.
