viGEN: An Open Source Pipeline for the Detection and Quantification of Viral RNA in Human Tumors

An estimated 17% of cancers worldwide are associated with infectious causes. The extent and biological significance of viral presence/infection in actual tumor samples is generally unknown but could be measured using human transcriptome (RNA-seq) data from tumor samples. We present an open source bi...
