    from the bowtie manual : http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/manual.shtml

    -n/--seedmms <int> : Maximum number of mismatches permitted in the "seed", i.e. the first L base pairs of the read (where L is set with -l/--seedlen). This may be 0, 1, 2 or 3 and the default is 2. This option is mutually exclusive with the -v option.

    -l/--seedlen <int> : The "seed length"; i.e., the number of bases on the high-quality end of the read to which the -n ceiling applies. The lowest permitted setting is 5 and the default is 28. bowtie is faster for larger values of -l.
