Quote from Stringtie: "Any SAM record with a spliced alignment (i.e. having a read alignment across at least one junction) should have the XS tag to indicate the transcription strand, i.e. the genomic strand from which the RNA that produced this read originated. TopHat and HISAT2 alignments already include this tag, but if you use a different read mapper you should check that this tag is also included for spliced alignment records. STAR aligner should be run with the option --outSAMstrandField intronMotif in order to generate this tag."
