Is Cel-seq & Cel-seq2 protocols are with Strand specific library .If so should i use Stranded 'yes' option in HT-Seq-Count

From the cel-seq paper it is mentioned >97% are from one strand reads.Still i have a confusion about the strandedness of the library

library cel-seq ht-seq-count stranded

I myself found the answer. Yes cel-seqs are strand specific.Since Htseq-count default already is for strand option=yes.So I can run with or without mentioning the strand parameter.

yeah ATpoint,Even my data has umi barcodes too .Currently I am using zUMIs for processing my data which handled it all.But I got a doubt regarding Stranded option in that pipeline.Since Celseq protocol group's inhouse pipeline used HT-Seq-Count.So asked the above question with HT-Seq-Count,Just to understand it clearly. Thanks a lot for your concern :)
