`N` bases prevent classification of reads #37

Open bounlu opened 7 months ago

When using xenome classify, if the reads in the FASTQ file include N, those reads go to neither, which may be a lot. Does it mean there is an identical sequence matching algorithm behind rather than an alignment process that cannot handle with N bases?
