Does someone know which tool can detect fusion gene form Solid single end 50bp RNA-seq reads. I found several softwares such as FusionMap,FusionSeq and so on. But some need paired end reads and some cant't handle colorspace reads. Now I still didn't find a tool to do the job with my data. Can someone help me. Thank you very much!

Although there is no software to detect fusion gene in coloerspace now.
You can do as following,
First,using tophat to run your data .
Second,use function of FusionMap:--pereport to select discordant read pairs from sam file.
Third,use GSNAP to discovery junction site.
Final,combined report from discordant read pairs and junction site.

With single-end reads you could in principle try to detect gene fusions from spliced-alignments. There are mappers supporting this in color space, for instance, the Genomatix mapper (FYI I work for Genomatix).
However, I would not recommend this strategy at all. You will get lots of false positive predictions. Especially since your reads are only 50 bps long, so even in an ideal case you will only have 25 bps on each side of the split. This will not guarantee correct mappings with high precision.
When predicting gene fusion candidates we use spliced-alignments to determine exact fusion breakpoints. But we only do this after having identified the gene fusion candidates using paired-end information.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
