Detect mutations from RNA-seq data

Usually we detect mutations by DNA-sequencing or whole exome sequencing, GATK http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/best-practices is the commonly used pipeline for this purpose.

But RNA-seq data can also be used to call mutations in addition to detect the differentially expressed genes. However, the pipelines like GATK is not suitable for this kind of data.

A software

rnaseqmut

was developed by Wei Li in Harvard Dana-Farber cancer Insitute for this purpose
