Table 5. Assignment of Illumina sequencing reads to bins.

CCD− CCD+
Mapping step Reference Program Match criterion Starting reads (000s) Mapped reads (000s) Percent of total reads mapping Starting reads (000s) Mapped reads (000s) Percent of total reads mapping
1 Honey bee reference sequence Bowtie V = 2 19,276 16,921 87.8% 41,950 37,692 89.9%
2 Reference sequence for known eukaryotic, prokaryotic, and viral associates of honey bee Bowtie V = 2, best 2,355 195 1.0% 4,258 496 1.2%

4 Silva LSU and SSU ribosomal databases (4/21/2010) Bowtie V = 3 574 116 0.6% 770 293 0.7%
5 NCBI Univec database Mega BLAST E <0.01 458 41 0.2% 477 11 0.03%

Match criteria are the conditions under which an aligned read is considered a valid mapping. For Bowtie, this column shows the number of mismatches (the parameter ‘V’) and whether the match was required to be the best match in the reference database. For Mega BLAST, the minimum expectation of the match is shown.
