  • STAR: Alignment reported with less matches than parameter --outFilterMatchNmin

    Hello,

    I am using STAR_2.3.0e.Linux_x86_64 to align only the first 25b of my paired-end reads, with the parameters:
    --outFilterMatchNmin 40

    --clip5pNbases 4 (there 4 random pairs before the PCR primer that I want to remove)

    --clip3pNbases 71 (in order to only keep the first 25 bases)

    --outSAMattributes All

    --outFilterMultimapNmax 3

    --outFilterMismatchNmax 5

    --outFilterMismatchNoverLmax 0.05

    --alignIntronMax 1

    --alignMatesGapMax 740

    I have cases like below where one mate of a pair is multiply mapped but with alignments containing a sum of matches that is less than 40, although I asked for a minimum of 40 matches using the parameter --outFilterMatchNmin.

    I don't understand why these alignments are recorded while they have less than 40 perfect matches (required using --outFilterMatchNmin).

    Any advice or guidance will be welcomed, thank you!

    Best,
    Anne
