    You need to tell bowtie2 to ignore base qualities and then set the --score-min parameter accordingly (e.g., "--score-min L,-30,0 --ignore-quals" would allow a maximum of 5 mismatches).

      Hi dpryan,
      thank you for your wonderful suggestion! But I am confused with the output while following your advise.
      First,I use the command bowtie2 -x index/9402_ref_ASM32557v1_chrUn.fa -c ATGACAGGCTTATGTCGA -a --no-hd ,and the alignment result is

      1 reads; of these:
      1 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
      0 (0.00%) aligned 0 times
      1 (100.00%) aligned exactly 1 time
      0 (0.00%) aligned >1 times
      100.00% overall alignment rate
      0 16 gi|584418266|ref|NW_006435781.1| 1491702 255 18M * 0 0 TCGACATAAGCCTGTCAT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AS:i:-6 XN:i:0 XM:i:1 XO:i:0 XG:i:0 NM:i:1 MD:Z:4T13 YT:Z:UU

      then I tried the command: bowtie2 -x index/9402_ref_ASM32557v1_chrUn.fa -c ATGACAGGCTTATGTCGA --score-min L,-30,0 --ignore-quals -a --no-hd, but the aligning returns the same result, the --score-min L,-30,0 --ignore-quals seems not to help find more alignments with tolerated mismatchs. I also tried other sequence for input, but the field in XM:i:n returned is all XM:i:1 or XM:i:0(I think the field indicates the mismatch number). So is there any problem with my command ?

      Sincerely.

        Firstly, there may not be any other valid hits with the specified number of mismatches. Secondly, even if there were, bowtie2 can miss alignments on occasion.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
