    different output from bowtie2 and samtools flagstat

    Hello, I am new to bioinformatics and trying to analyse paired end RAD seq data. I have aligned the sequences using bowtie2 and have my output as sorted bam after piping the results straight into samtools. the output that I get for this std. output is different than samtools flagstat. Here is the output from aligner
    2170017 reads; of these:
    2170017 (100.00%) were paired; of these:
    608209 (28.03%) aligned concordantly 0 times
    994001 (45.81%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
    567807 (26.17%) aligned concordantly >1 times
    ----
    608209 pairs aligned concordantly 0 times; of these:
    49881 (8.20%) aligned discordantly 1 time
    ----
    558328 pairs aligned 0 times concordantly or discordantly; of these:
    1116656 mates make up the pairs; of these:
    488912 (43.78%) aligned 0 times
    232584 (20.83%) aligned exactly 1 time
    395160 (35.39%) aligned >1 times
    88.73% overall alignment rate

    and here is the output from flagstat

    2322547 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    0 + 0 secondary
    0 + 0 supplementary
    0 + 0 duplicates
    2322547 + 0 mapped (100.00% : N/A)
    2322547 + 0 paired in sequencing
    1132936 + 0 read1
    1189611 + 0 read2
    2073092 + 0 properly paired (89.26% : N/A)
    2225207 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    97340 + 0 singletons (4.19% : N/A)
    110386 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    110386 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    these two are very different. Can someone help me in reconciling them. Also when i try to find the uniquely mapped reads using samtools
    samtools view -F 4 412_sorted.bam | grep -v "XS" | wc -l
    2139690
    I get this result which again is different from the bowtie output of aligned exactly 1 time. Can someone help me.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
