  • STAR: Alignment reported with less matches than parameter --outFilterMatchNmin

    Hello,

    I am using STAR_2.3.0e.Linux_x86_64 to align only the first 25b of my paired-end reads, with the parameters:
    --outFilterMatchNmin 40

    --clip5pNbases 4 (there 4 random pairs before the PCR primer that I want to remove)

    --clip3pNbases 71 (in order to only keep the first 25 bases)

    --outSAMattributes All

    --outFilterMultimapNmax 3

    --outFilterMismatchNmax 5

    --outFilterMismatchNoverLmax 0.05

    --alignIntronMax 1

    --alignMatesGapMax 740

    I have cases like below where one mate of a pair is multiply mapped but with alignments containing a sum of matches that is less than 40, although I asked for a minimum of 40 matches using the parameter --outFilterMatchNmin.

    I don't understand why these alignments are recorded while they have less than 40 perfect matches (required using --outFilterMatchNmin).

    Any advice or guidance will be welcomed, thank you!

    Best,
    Anne

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
