Robust gene expression and mutation analyses of RNA-sequencing of formalin-fixed diagnostic tumor samples

Current genomic studies are limited by the availability of fresh tissue samples. Here, we show that Illumina RNA sequencing of formalin-fixed diagnostic tumor samples produces gene expression that is strongly correlated with matched frozen tumor samples (r > 0.89). In addition, sequence variation...
