Hi, I have bam files aligned with STAR 2- PASS using the GENCODE fasta file and GENCODE annotation file. Then I want to assemble transcripts using the Refseq annotiation because there are some attributions I need.

Can the GTF files used by stringtie be different from the one used by STAR?

Thank you.
