Hi!
I hope this is not a stupid question. The STAR user manual
and google could not help me solving this problem.
I have adapter and quality-trimmed my RNAseq reads using cutadapt.
As a consequence, a few reads are trimmed to length zero.
Running STAR 2.5.2a I get the error:
"EXITING because of FATAL ERROR in reads input: short read sequence line: 1"
and I know that this is caused by a read with length zero.
Is there a way to make STAR ignore these reads?
Thank you very much for your help !!
Best wishes,
Franzi
