git # add binaries to path using export path or editing ~/.bashrc fileĮxport PATH = $ PATH : / home / ren / software / STAR / bin / Linux_x86_64 # verify the binaries added to the system path Alternatively, you canĪlso install it from the source by following the installation instructions. If you have not previously installed STAR, you can download the pre-compiled binaries for STAR. Multiple processors (cores) for parallel computation (e.g.Hard drive with sufficient disk space based on the input file sizes (recommended 100 to 500 GB).Sufficient RAM (recommended 32 GB for human size genome).If you do not have access to HPC, you should have computers STAR can run smoothly on high-performance computers (HPCs). Getting started with STAR Computational requirements for STARĪs RNA-seq and DNA-seq experiments generate millions of sequence reads, computers with sufficient memory and disk space STAR is used in GATK best practice workflowįor indetifying short variants from RNA-seq data. In addition, STAR also has better sensitivity in variant detections (SNPs and INDELs) as compared to TopHat2.several Kbp of reads generated from PacBio or ≤ 200 bp), STAR can accurately map long reads (e.g. STAR has high precision in identifying the canonical and non-canonical (novel) splice junctions.The aligning speed for STAR can vary based on the available memory. The drawback of STAR is that it is RAM (memory) intensive aligner and may require STAR has a better mapping rate as compared to other popular splice-aware RNA-seq aligners such as HISAT2 and.STAR is the recommended aligner for mapping RNA-seq data. Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) is a highly accurate and ultra-fast splice-aware aligner forĪligning RNA-seq reads to the reference genome sequences.Splice variant (alternative splicing) analysis, variant calling, and identifying chimeric (fusion) genes. The mapping of sequence reads to reference genome helps in gene discovery, gene quantification, The alignment (mapping) of high-throughput sequencing reads to a reference genome is a critical step in RNA-seq andĭNA-seq data analysis.Mastering RNA-seq Read Alignment With STAR
