The tool comes with a miniconda environment which includes the required packages, which includes STAR v2.7.3a. However, when I create a genome index using this version of STAR, the versionGenome shows up as 2.7.1a.

Regardless whether I use the STAR from the miniconda environment or pulling the release from Github, the versionGenome is still 2.7.1a.
My questions are -
