Gene Count Matrix

I did paired end alignment with HiSat and the alignment log is telling

  • 22608754 reads; -of these: 22608754 (100.00%) were paired; of these:
    6129947 (27.11%) aligned concordantly 0 times
    3041428 (13.45%) aligned concordantly exactly 1 time
    13437379 (59.43%) aligned concordantly >1 times
    ----
    6129947 pairs aligned concordantly 0 times; of these:
      3806 (0.06%) aligned discordantly 1 time
    ----
    6126141 pairs aligned 0 times concordantly or discordantly; of these:
      12252282 mates make up the pairs; of these:
        11803075 (96.33%) aligned 0 times
        73963 (0.60%) aligned exactly 1 time
        375244 (3.06%) aligned >1 times
    
    73.90% overall alignment rate

I don't have problem with this

From above I understand this 22608754 x2 =45217508X0.73=330087809(aligned reads) but for same sample gene count matrix showing reads count total is 46513138. What makes this difference?

genecount hisat matrix stringtie

How are you generating your count matrix? Seems you are counting reads mapped >1 time.

Sorry for late reply. I generated count using stringtie.
