title: ChimeraScan: a tool for identifying chimeric transcription in sequencing data.
abstract: CONCLUSIONS
  Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enabled de novo gene fusion discovery that could reveal candidates with therapeutic significance in cancer. Here we present an open-source software package, ChimeraScan, for the discovery of chimeric transcription between two independent transcripts in high-throughput transcriptome sequencing data.
