Hi, I ran command , ./bbmap.sh in=ecoliReads1.fastq outm=mappedadd_ecoli.bam outu=unmapped2.fa ref=ecoliRef.fasta. The output that was printed was:

So I would like to what the 99.6987% for the mapped mean. Kindly explain the meaning of that value. Any link or tutorial to support it would be appreciated.

Thanks Madhu
