I noticed the same thing.
Note that you can go into the source code and easily change the number of multiple hits reported by STAR. This is a good workaround until the RSEM developers fix it.
Just go to line 389 of "rsem-calculate-expression" perl script and change the value of the flag "--outFilterMultimapNmax" to some big number, e.g. 2000.
Hi RSEM Staff, I work with miRNA pipelines and would be interesting to run RSEM estimations, especially due to miRNAs small sequence and the high number of hits. I was trying to run the protocol using gencode (v27) miRNAs using the following command:
This command calls the following
STAR
command-line.Reviewing the ENCODE (miRNA pipeline)[https://www.encodeproject.org/pipelines/ENCPL444CYA/], I found very small changes from the one implemented here. The major differences were the removal of Intron alignments with the flag
--alignIntronMax 1
and the inclusing of--alignEndsType EndToEnd
. This changes yield the following command:Do you think you could add a protocol option to enable this kind of transcript? Also, it would be nice to regulate the flag
--outFilterMultimapNmax
. You guys consider at most 20 mutliple-hits for STAR while allow up 200 for bowtie2 (by default).Great work
