I have a question regarding the variability of FPKM I am seeing between technical replicates in the Hisat2, stringtie pipeline. When I plot technical replicates by log2 FPKM, I am getting Spearman correlations of 0.6. I used the same fastq files in the tophat, cufflinks pipeline (default settings) and had Spearman correlations of 0.9. I am wondering which parameters I can change in Hisat2 to make it behave more like tophat2. In hisat, I have tried several different parameters and I am getting similar results regardless of the parameters I use.
The parameters I have tried in hisat2 are as follows:
-k 2 --max-seeds 15 --no-mixed
-k 3 --max-seeds 10
-k 10 --max-seeds 10
default settings
I am getting a high percentage of multi-mapping (~20%) and I am wondering if that is a problem.
Thank you for your help!
