@@ -2,9 +2,20 @@ STAR aligns short and long RNA-seq reads to a reference genome using
uncompressed suffix arrays, resulting in fast, accurate mapping.
STAR is capable of unbiased de novo detection of canonical splice
junctions, can discover non-canonical splices and chimeric (fusion)
-transcripts and can map full-length RNA sequences. Comes with
-STARsolo for: mapping, demultiplexing and gene quantification for
+transcripts and can map full-length RNA sequences. Comes with
+STARsolo for: mapping, demultiplexing and gene quantification for
single cell RNA-seq (See STARmanual).
+The make command for building the program assumes that the cpu is
+supporting AVX extensions, included in intel processors since Sandy
+Bridge (2008) and in AMD cpus since Bulldozer (2011). See the
+Slackbuild if other processors can be supported.

+LIMITATIONS
+This release was tested with the default parameters for human and
+mouse genomes. Mammal genomes require at least 16GB of RAM, ideally
+32GB. Please contact the author for a list of recommended parameters
+for much larger or much smaller genomes.
