when you specify --outSAMattributes All option, STAR outputs extra attributes
that follow some novel SAM specifications. These attributes are only supported
by the latest versions of samtools, 0.1.18 and 0.1.19, and will also cause
problems with some downstream analysis software such as bedTools, HTseq and
Cufflinks, because, I believe, these software do not use the latest samtools
API.
I do not recommend using this option unless you really need these attributes.
You can also cut the columns with these attributes before feeding the
alignments to other software.
I will add the @RG tags in the next STAR release.
