STAR alignment issue

Hello I am using STAR on my computer with 32gb RAM, I successfully made Index , my index directory (STARindex) seems to have all the files. But my alignment is done in 2 minutes and I am getting BAM file only 3kb. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong , thank you

STAR --runMode alignReads \
–-runThreadN 6 \
--genomeDir STARindex \
--sjdbGTFtagExonParentTranscript Parent Hg19.gtf \
--readFilesIn ERR420386_1.fastq ERR420386_2.fastq \
--outSAMtype BAM Unsorted

This is the response I get

Please help

star rnaseq

How does your Hg19.gtf look like?

Hg19.gtf looks good, this is the same file I used for my index , 828,000kb , this file doesn't need to be in Index directory correct ?

It looks like STAR ran correctly, try without this parameter:

--sjdbGTFtagExonParentTranscript Parent Hg19.gtf \

No luck , I tried without --sjdbGTFtagExonParentTranscript Parent Hg19.gtf \ , I see 0 reads aligned somewhere I am missing not able to figure it out

Interesting, everything looks ok, try HISAT2, if you get the same result maybe the problem is your input files, probably your reads do not correspond to your genome reference.
