Dear all,
Did anybody try to align genomic DNA using STAR (http://code.google.com/p/rna-star/)?
Thank you.

I know STAR is designed for RNA. But did anybody have any experience in aligning genomic DNA using STAR? -
STAR was designed for aligning RNA-seq data, and is not optimized for DNA-seq mapping. In particular, the "mapping" quality values are naively defined and may give you trouble with SNP callers. Some users had managed to obtain decent results with STAR, see this post and the comparison on bioplanet within it. You can see that STAR's accuracy is slightly better than Bowtie2's, but not as good as BWA's. STAR advantage is very high speed.
To map DNA data you would need to prohibit splicing with:
--alignIntronMax 1 --alignMatesGapMax <MaxInsertSize-2*ReadLength>.

Hi Alex,
Thank you so much.

The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.Today, 06:37 PM -
NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM
