I am using Bowtie2 to align my cut&tag data with the reference genome mm10, and the spike-in species is Ecoli. However, I obtained abnormal alignment rates. There is a substantial proportion of H3K27me3 aligning to mm10 with >1 times mapping, while IgG has a very low overall alignment rate. However, when aligned to the spike-in reference genome, the H3K27me3 alignment rate is very high. As follows:
# H3K27me3 aligns to mm10
22786978 reads; of these: 22786978 (100.00%) were paired; of these
968606 (4.25%) aligned concordantly 0 times
14874420 (65.28%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
6943952 (30.47%) aligned concordantly >1 times
95.75% overall alignment rate
# igg aligns to mm10
16022333 reads; of these
16022333 (100.00%) were paired; of these:
5093628 (31.79%) aligned concordantly 0 times
6672786 (41.65%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
4255919 (26.56%) aligned concordantly >1 times

# H3K27me3 aligns to spike-in
22786978 reads; of these:
22786978 (100.00%) were paired; of these:
22130710 (97.12%) aligned concordantly 0 times
656268 (2.88%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
0 (0.00%) aligned concordantly >1 times
