STAR Reference Files for GRCm39 and GRCh38

This is a STAR reference index file that uses a recent version (2.7.11b) of STAR to be compatible with STARsolo. The source of these reference files has been taken from the CellRanger pre-built references of GRCm39 (2024-A) and GRCh38 (2024-A), respectively.

Although the CellRanger pre-built references already contain STAR reference files, they are NOT compatible with STARsolo or the latest version of STAR. Those who need newer STAR references can use this repository. 

This repository is intended to facilitate the use of the NovaScope pipeline, but can also be used as a general purpose reference for STAR and STARsolo.
