hg38 premade index for STAR Aligner

Question

[kalanir]

Is there a place that I can find a premade hg38 STAR index?

I know there are links to this site on previous posts:http://labshare.cshl.edu/shares/gingeraslab/www-data/dobin/STAR/STARgenomes/GENCODE/ however, I cant tell what's what or what to use. Can someone help me? I don't have the machine capabilities/ time to build an index on the human genome.

Does it have to be GRCh38? There's an index of 37 http://labshare.cshl.edu/shares/gingeraslab/www-data/dobin/STAR/STARgenomes/Misc/GRCh37-HG19_Broad_variant/

Also you could use say UCSC version hg19 which should be equivalent.

UCSC's hg19 is equivalent to hg38?

No its a different annotation of GRCh37.

This is for STAR-Fusion(call fusion genes after STAR alignment), this including STAR index, however the file size is huge.
