    RNA-STAR filter out unique Junctions

    Hi all,

    I am trying to filter un-annotated splice junction from my STAR mapping run, but with no success.
    I would like to exclude all junction from both my *.bam and *.SJ.out.tab files which have less than 5 reads overlapping the junction motifs.
    I have trid it several times with different parameters until I came these construction:
    Code:
    --alignSJoverhangMin 8
    --alignSJDBoverhangMin 5
    --outFilterType BySJout
    --outSJfilterCountTotalMin 8 5 5 5
    --outSJfilterCountUniqueMin -1 -1 -1 -1
    With this settings I get a lot less junctions than with the default values. This is fine by me, as I hope only to get those with high coverage, but even here I still get this kind of junctions in my SJ.tab.out file:

    Code:
    awk 'FNR==5442 {print}' STAR.SJ.out.tab
     2L      11438179        11487284        1       1       0       1       0       22
    This is an unannotated splice junction with only one read overlapping the intron motifs.

    What do I need to change to get rid of these junctions as well?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Assa

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
