Bowtie mismatch settings
Dear all,
I am not an experienced user of Bowtie2. I noticed there are a few settings related to mismatch: -v, -n and -e.
-n is the max mismatches within seed (default 2)
I am confused with -v and -e. According to the manual, -v means end-to-end hits w/ <= v mismatches; -e is the max sum of mismatch quals across alignment for -n (default: 70).
Could anyone explain in a little bit more details for -v and -e? If I want the total mismatch set to 2, which option should I use? I appreciate your help! THANKS!

Mismatch Option In Bowtie2
written by Varun Gupta
Are you using bowtie or bowtie2? Make sure you're reading correct documentation.
Thanks, Pgibas for noticing me. When running Bowtie2, I found a list of options, but which option is total mismatch? (Note
-Nis max mismatch in seed) THANKS!Thanks a lot, pgibas, I understand filtering SAM is the way to do so.
