The table shows the number and percentage of reads mapped to the human reference sequences. aSum of R1 and R2 reads used in the alignment. bPercentage of reads used in the alignment that align to the reference genome. cPercentage of reads used in the alignment that align to the reference genome in the correct relative orientation to their mate. dPercentage of reads used in the alignment that align to the reference genome but whose mate does not align. ePercentage of 63,152 annotated human genes with at least one read aligned.
