STAR.install: Download and prepare STAR

In ORFik: Open Reading Frames in Genomics

Description

Will not run "make", only use precompiled STAR file.
Can only run on unix systems (Linux and Mac), and requires minimum 30GB memory on genomes like human, rat, zebrafish etc.

Usage

STAR.install(folder = "~/bin", version = "2.7.4a")

Arguments

folder	path to folder for download, fille will be named "STAR-version", where version is version wanted.
version	default "2.7.4a"
