Would using --quantMode option change the out put BAM/SAM file?

[Gray]

Dear all,

I have a quick question, would using --quantMode option change the out put BAM/SAM file? In other words, if I run the alignment simultaneously with below options:

--outSAMtype BAM Unsorted \ 

--quantMode GeneCounts \ 

Would the BAM output be any different than  below?

--outSAMtype BAM Unsorted \ 

Many thanks for your reply beforehand.

Hi Gray,

quantification does not change BAM ot other outputs.

Cheers
