STAR (Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference) aims to achieve accurate
|
||
|
|
alignment of high-throughput RNA-seq data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
STAR is based on a previously undescribed RNA-seq alignment algorithm that uses
|
||
|
|
sequential maximum mappable seed search in uncompressed suffix arrays followed
|
||
|
|
by seed clustering and stitching procedure. STAR outperforms other aligners by
|
||
|
|
a factor of >50 in mapping speed, aligning to the human genome 550 million 2 x
|
||
|
|
76 bp paired-end reads per hour on a modest 12-core server, while at the same
|
||
|
|
time improving alignment sensitivity and precision
