Dear all, I have encountered a similar issue. I'm using version 2.4.1 and I observed that in my resulting sam file I have many primary alignments with an assigned MAPQ of 255. It is paired-end RNAseq data and I used the following settings: --very-sensitive -X 1000 -k 10 --phred33. Reading other threads, I have seen that the maximum MAPQ should be 42 for global alignments, but maybe it is in a posterior version, such as 2.4.3, which included a fix for MAPQ calculations. I would be very happy to receive some feedback. Kind regards, Natalia
Hello!
We are trying to understand MAPQ calculations in end-to-end mode. More specifically, we are interested to know why Bowtie 2 reports MAPQ = 255 for uniquely mapped reads when multiple alignments are allowed (i.e. -k 10) instead of reporting the same MAPQ that is assigned to these reads when default is used.
This is our example:
Thank you.
