STAR/HiSAT2 output coordinate sorted BAM

Closed this issue · 2 comments

@akahles Can we sort STAR/HiSAT2 output BAMs by coordinate? Otherwise the index file can not be built.

We usually do this as a downstream process after alignment. The STAR sorting (at least in the past) was not very efficient and using samtools view knew that the output was compatible with downstream tools.

This has been addressed.
