STAR 2.7.1a 2019/05/15

This version requires re-generation of the genome indexes

  • Implemented --soloFeatures GeneFull which counts reads overlapping full genes, i.e. includes reads that overlap introns. This can be combined with other features, e.g. --soloFeatures Gene SJ GeneFull .
  • Implemented --soloCBwhitelist None option for solo* demultiplexing without CB whitelist. In this case error correction for CBs is not performed.
  • Implemented Cell Barcodes longer than 16 bases (but shorter than 31 bases). Many thanks to Gert Hulselmans for implementing this feature (#588).
  • Implemented collapsing of duplicate cell barcodes in the whitelist.
  • Implemented --sjdbGTFtagExonParentGeneName and --sjdbGTFtagExonParentGeneType options to load gene name and biotype attributes from the GTF file.
  • Fixed problems created by missing gene/transcript ID, name and biotype attributes in GTF files (issues #613, #628).
  • Added warning for incorrectly scaled --genomeSAindexNbases parameter (issue #614).
  • Added numbers of unmapped reads to the Log.final.out file (pull #622).
  • Fixed a problem which may cause seg-faults for reads with many blocks (issue #342).
