How can all BWA alignment get wrong mapping location?
I mapped using bwa, 2 paired end sequences from exome sequencing using this command:
bwa mem -t 10 -M -R '@RG\tID:group1\tSM:sample1\tPL:illumina\tLB:lib1\tPU:unit1' h19_index_bwa/h19 MM160301JR_1.fastq MM160301JR_2.fastq > MM160301JR2.sam
After viewing the bamfile on IGV, I notice that all reads are on wrong positions as its sequence does not match the reference, however reads are mapped correctly against itself. How can it be?

May be obvious but thought I would ask. You have the correct genome build loaded in IGV, right?
turns out that no, I thought I mapped with hg19, but was not. I will leave this post and make the walk of shame
