At what read length I start using STARlong?
Does both the binaries have the same aligning output?

Hi Sanket,

I would recommend switching to STARlong if normal STAR takes too long to map your reads. This typically happens for reads longer than 200-300nt.
The output of STARlong is different, as many parameters are set to very different values.

Cheers
Alex
