Hello,

I am using Hisat2 to align reads to a reference genome (mm10).

However, over 50% of reads failed to align to the genome.

What went wrong? Is it the reference genome I am using? Is it the quality of the data?

Thanks.

Hello,

It could be due to any of these reasons: the setting used with the tool, the fastq sequence quality score scaling, the format of a custom reference genome (if used), the quality of the custom reference genome assembly (again, if used), the quality of the sequence reads (run FastQC after confirming quality score scaling to check and QA as needed).
