Hi Vasu, Thanks for your response. I realize tophat and bowtie are different. But my question was concerning what seemed to me to be divergent results from mapping with tophat and bwa (which I also realize are different). bwa seemed to map around 4x the reads that tophat mapped using the same reference. Should this not come as a surprise?
