I am working with Illumina sequences that are about 76 bp long. I have been looking through some .sam files generated by samse after aligning to a reference using bwa. I noticed that many of the reads that contain multiple optimal hits do not have XA tags at the end of the line, while many others do.
I have not noticed any consistent difference between reads that have the XA tag and those that don't. Can anyone offer insight into this?
