All methods were run using 8 cores on the same machines and with the same parameter settings as in the RGASP evaluation [17]. ContextMap 2 with Bowtie 2 was run with the maximum number of alignments reported per read (k) set to 3 (default setting used for evaluating mapping quality) and 10, respectively. Runtime of STAR 2-pass includes the time required for running STAR 1-pass, indexing the genome with splice sites found in the first STAR run and re-running STAR.
