Functional comparison of exome capture-based methods for transcriptomic profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumors
Abstract The availability of fresh frozen (FF) tissue is a barrier for implementing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in the clinic. The majority of clinical samples are stored as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. Exome capture platforms have been developed for RNA-seq from FFPE samples. Howe...
