Do I need to regenerate STAR genome indices when I upgrade to STAR 2.5.0a from 2.4.0a?

If I generate  genome indices with STAR 2.5.0a , will it match the ones generated by STAR 2.4.0a?

Hi Sanket,

the old indexes will work in most cases, but I would recommend re-generating them with the new release.
The indexes will be slightly different, but the mapping results should be exactly the same.

Cheers
Alex
