STAR: STAR (Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference) STAR: STAR: STAR aligns short and long RNA-seq reads to a reference genome using STAR: uncompressed suffix arrays, resulting in fast, accurate mapping. STAR STAR: is capable of unbiased de novo detection of canonical junctions, can STAR: discover non-canonical splices and chimeric transcripts, can map full- STAR: length RNA sequences and can be used for single cell RNA-seq mapping.
