A general question about aligning long reads (ONT). I noticed some cases where STAR soft clips what seems to be a splice junction. See below two examples of STAR vs. minimap2, where an additional exon is detected. Could you please suggest what parameters can be tweaked to improve sensitivity?
Hi Alex,
A general question about aligning long reads (ONT). I noticed some cases where STAR soft clips what seems to be a splice junction. See below two examples of STAR vs. minimap2, where an additional exon is detected. Could you please suggest what parameters can be tweaked to improve sensitivity?
