Detection of chimeric / fusion transcript using nanopore long reads

Question

[Nicolas Rosewick]

Hi,

I've some Direct RNA and cDNA nanopore sequencing and would like to detect some chimeric transcript. For now I aligned the reads using minimap2 and the results are quiet nice. Looking in the literature there is no current tools to perform long read fusion detection. Any idea ?

Hello Nicolas! Any luck with this? I am in the same place right now (by the way, did you use total or polyA RNA for your sequencing)?

Thanks,

Peny
