TruSight RNA Fusion

TruSight RNA Fusion Panel

The TruSight RNA Fusion Panel enables detection of known and novel fusion gene partners from different cancer types including solid tumors, soft tissue cancers, and hematological malignancies. This panel assays 507 genes that have been cited in public databases as being implicated for fusions associated with various cancers. The panel is compatible with FFPE tissue, accommodating as little as 10 ng of fresh-frozen total RNA input or 20ng of FFPE RNA input. The TruSight RNA Fusion Panel provides a sensitive, reproducible, and economical solution for gene fusion detection.

Starting material:

The protocol is optimized for 10–100 ng of human total RNA.

  • Lower amounts might result in low yield and reduced sensitivity.
  • The protocol has been tested using 10 ng of high-quality universal human reference total RNA as input.
  • Use of RNA from other tissues or lower quality RNA might require further optimization to determine the input amount.
FFPE RNA Input Recommendations
Quality DV200 Input Requirements Per Reaction
High > 70% 20 ng
Medium 50–70% 20–50 ng
Low 30–50% 50–100 ng
Too degraded < 30% Not recommended
