You need to tell bowtie2 to ignore base qualities and then set the --score-min parameter accordingly (e.g., "--score-min L,-30,0 --ignore-quals" would allow a maximum of 5 mismatches).

thank you for your wonderful suggestion! But I am confused with the output while following your advise.
First,I use the command bowtie2 -x index/9402_ref_ASM32557v1_chrUn.fa -c ATGACAGGCTTATGTCGA -a --no-hd ,and the alignment result is
1 reads; of these:
1 (100.00%) were unpaired; of these:
0 (0.00%) aligned 0 times
1 (100.00%) aligned exactly 1 time
0 (0.00%) aligned >1 times
100.00% overall alignment rate
0 16 gi|584418266|ref|NW_006435781.1| 1491702 255 18M * 0 0 TCGACATAAGCCTGTCAT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AS:i:-6 XN:i:0 XM:i:1 XO:i:0 XG:i:0 NM:i:1 MD:Z:4T13 YT:Z:UU
then I tried the command: bowtie2 -x index/9402_ref_ASM32557v1_chrUn.fa -c ATGACAGGCTTATGTCGA --score-min L,-30,0 --ignore-quals -a --no-hd, but the aligning returns the same result, the --score-min L,-30,0 --ignore-quals seems not to help find more alignments with tolerated mismatchs. I also tried other sequence for input, but the field in XM:i:n returned is all XM:i:1 or XM:i:0(I think the field indicates the mismatch number). So is there any problem with my command ?
Sincerely.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
