Sequencing of transcribed RNA molecules (RNA-seq) is an invaluable tool for studying cell transcriptomes at high resolution and depth. RNA-seq datasets typically consist of tens to hundreds of millions of relatively short (30–200 nt) sequence fragments of the original RNA ...

Mapping of large sets of high-throughput sequencing reads to a reference genome is one of the foundational steps in RNA-seq data analysis. The STAR software package performs this task with high levels of accuracy and speed. In addition to detecting ...
