STAR 2.7.7a --- 2020/12/28 ::: STARconsensus
Major new feature: STARconsensus: mapping RNA-seq reads to consensus genome.
- Insert (consensus) variants from a VCF file into the reference genome at the genome generation step with
--genomeTransformVCF Variants.vcf --genomeTransformType Haploid
- Map to the transformed genome. Alignments (SAM/BAM) and spliced junctions (SJ.out.tab) can be transformed back to the original (reference) coordinates with
--genomeTransformOutput SAM and/or SJ
- More information: https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR/tree/master/docs/STARconsensus.md
Minor bug fixes:
- Deprecated
--genomeConsensusFile
option. Please use--genomeTransformVCF
and--genomeTransformType
options instead. - Issue #1040: fixed a bug causing rare seg-faults for paired-end --soloType SmartSeq runs.
- Issue #1071: fixed a bug that can cause a crash for STARsolo runs with a small number of cells.
