Hello,
I generated a custom mm10 genome with several additional fasta files (trying to add markers to genome, eg EGFP). Mapping with STAR works fine.
However, the output directory contains a file named 'Genome' which I assume is the fasta genome in a binary octet-stream format. Is that correct? Also, Is there a way to convert this Genome into a readable fasta plain txt file, like those used as input?
I am trying to put this custom fasta into picard for generation of a dictionary, but need the fasta reference to be in a readable format. Any help with the Genome file would be very much appreciated.
Take care
Matt
