Novel kinase fusion oncogenes in post-Chernobyl radiation-induced pediatric thyroid cancers
DNA was isolated using QIAamp DNA kit (Qiagen) according to standard protocols. High molecular weight DNA from frozen matched normal/tumor pairs were used to create short fragment DNA libraries using the TruSeq Nano DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina, Catalog#: FC-121-4001). Paired-end sequencing was performed using the Hiseq 2500 sequencer (Illumina) using the latest chemistry (v3) for the 200 cycle reagent kits (Catalog#: FC-402-4001).
