How can I open .fusion file for fusion detection from RNA-seq analysis

Question

[shangqianwang]

I use STAR to detect the fusions from RNA-seq file, then I got .FUSION file, how can I open it?

[Dan D]

Try the following on the command line:

less [my_file.fusions]

If you see human-readable output, that means you should be able to open the file in a normal text editor.

If you see regular spacing or delimiters in the body of the text, you can probably open and view it with spreadsheets software.

Perfectly solved! Thank you Dan!
