Dear all,
I have paired-end data of 150bp and i use bwa-mem to align it.
bwa-mem ref_genome R1.fq.gz R2.fq.gz > aligned_reads.sam
After the alignment, i have check the flags proportions and there is something that i do not understand, i have different count for sam flags 99/147 or 83/163.
99: 6239811
147: 6241593
83: 8113628
163: 8112417
This is the first time i have this, usually i get the same number of flags for 99/147 or 83/163.
Does it means that there is a problem during the alignment ?
Thank you for your help!
