STARsolo settings for SMART-seq3

[apredeus]

Dear Alex & STAR user community,

I wander if someone has used STARsolo for processing of SMART-seq3 data? I am looking at some fastq files and only a small fraction of the reads seem to have the 11 bp adapter - so I am genuinely confused as to how this should be processed.

Also, is SMART-seq3 supposed to be strand-specific?

Would be helpful for any advice.
