fusion

Tools

This module uses the bam file from STAR to call fusion events with Arriba.

The fusion events are filtered based on the blacklist from Arriba itself. Only fusions where at least one of the involved genes is in report_genes will be included in the final output.

For each fusion event that remains after filtering, we also generate a figure using the draw_fusions.R script provided by Arriba.

Input

The input for this module is a single bam file, generated by STAR per sample, specified in a PEP configuration file, as is shown below.

Example input for the expression module
sample_name	bam
SRR8615409	test/data/bam/SRR8615409.snv-indel.bam

Output

The output of this module are a JSON file with an overview of the most important results, as well as a number of other output files: - The final Arriba output file, after filtering. - One figure per fusion event
