starlong-avx2
Quick Start
- Command:
STARlong-avx2 --genomeDir /path/to/index --readFilesIn reads.fq
- Local executable:
/home/vimalinx/miniforge3/envs/bio/bin/STARlong-avx2
- Full reference: references/help.md
When To Use This Tool
- Align long RNA-seq reads from PacBio or Nanopore with STARlong.
- Build or reuse STAR-compatible genome indices for long-read splice-aware mapping.
- Map full-length transcript reads while keeping STAR-style splice-junction outputs.
- Run a long-read-focused STAR wrapper using the AVX2-optimized binary.
