STAR 2.7.2a 2019/08/13

Major improvements in chimeric detection, contributed by Brian Haas @brianjohnhaas:

  • Chimeric read reporting now requires that the chimeric read alignment score higher than the alternative non-chimeric alignment to the reference genome. The Chimeric.out.junction file now includes the scores of the chimeric alignments and non-chimeric alternative alignments, in addition to the PEmerged bool attribute.

Big fixes and minor features:

  • Fixed the problem with ALT=* in STAR-WASP.
  • Implemented extras/scripts/soloBasicCellFilter.awk script to perform basic filtering of the STARsolo count matrices.
