Hi, I am doing paired end alignment using tophat. Since I'm new to this program, I'm a little confusing about the format of the alignment output: accepted_hits.bam. How can I determine which read end it shows for a mate pair? How can I know the inner distance between the mate pairs? If the 7th column is ‘*’ , does it mean one end aligned but the other end not?
Besides, is it -r option still required for paired end read mapping using Tophat? Though I didn't use this option, I still get the alignment result...
Look forward to your suggestions, and thanks for your help in advance!

The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3.
