One µg of total RNA was converted to mRNA libraries using the Illumina
mRNA TruSeq kit (RS-122-2001 or RS-122-2002) following the manufacturer’s directions. Libraries were sequenced 48×7×48 bp on the Illumina
HiSeq 2000 as previously described (Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network, 2012 (
link)). FASTQ files were generated by CASAVA. RNA reads were aligned to the hg19 genome assembly using MapSplice 0.7.5 (Wang et al., 2010 (
link)). Gene expression was quantified for the transcript models corresponding to the TCGA GAF2.1 (
https://gdc-api.nci.nih.gov/v0/data/a0bb9765-3f03-485b-839d-7dce4a9bcfeb) using RSEM (Li and Dewey, 2011 (
link)), and gene expression was normalized within-sample to a fixed upper quartile.
Fusion gene alignments were determined using MapSplice (Wang et al., 2010 (
link)). For further details on this procedure, refer to Description file at the Data Coordinating Center data portal under the V2_MapSpliceRSEM workflow (
https://gdcapi.nci.nih.gov/legacy/data/e34a93ee-d3c4-44c7-8bfa-0c19c6df0866). Putative
TRIO fusions were selected from discordant paired end reads in which the non-
TRIO end mapped to an identified gene. BAM files and expression data can be found at the Genomic Data Commons (
