Slots

name

Character containing name of the gene.

ensemblId

Character containing ensembl id for the gene.

chromosome

Character containing chromosome name.

breakpoint

Numeric containing the fusion breakpoint.

strand

Character containing gene strand.

junctionSequence

Biostrings::DNAString containing the sequence right before/after the fusion breakpoint.

transcripts

GenomicRanges::GRangesList containing three GenomicRanges::Granges() objects, one for each "transcript type".
