Using FunSeq2 for Coding and Non-Coding Variant Annotation and Prioritization

Abstract

The identification of non-coding drivers remains a challenge and bottleneck for the use of whole-genome sequencing in the clinic. FunSeq2 is a computational tool for annotation and prioritization of somatic mutations in coding and non-coding regions. It integrates a data context made from large-scale genomic datasets and uses a high-throughput variant prioritization pipeline. This unit provides guidelines for installing and running FunSeq2 to (a) annotate and prioritize variants, (b) incorporate user-defined annotations, and (c) detect differential gene expression. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
