Hi everyone,
I'm currently discovering the world of RNAseq and trying to run a miRNASeq analysis.
I managed to filter my data on quality and remover adapters...
I am now starting to align my data using bowtie and i read that specific options for miRNA includes the setting of -k to 200. I wonder what is the use of multiple alignment, i would rather keep the best alignment but don't want to wrongly simplify my data.
If i keep multiple alignment, how is it going to be handled by Cufflinks, DESeq or whatsoever in the downstream analysis ?
Any helps or comments will be appreciated
