  "summary": "Fusion transcripts contribute to cancer, inherited diseases, developmental disorders, and evolution. Long-read RNA sequencing enables direct sequencing of full-length transcripts, creating new opportunities to detect complex fusion architectures, including previously inaccessible multi-segmented fusion transcripts. However, accurate transcriptome-wide fusion detection remains challenging because…",
