Throughout the course we have focused on aligning a single sample of reads against a single reference genome with a few exceptions, but sometimes we know that is not the biological case. Sometimes we know that there are multiple different things present in a single sample. Most common situation would be a sample with a chromosome as well as a plasmid. Here we will examine the same sample used in the novel DNA identification tutorial to see how inclusion of the 2nd reference file changes the mapping results.

The discussion of concepts in this tutorial are identical to the advanced mapping with bowtie2 tutorial and work with the same data. The commands in this tutorial will take ~15 minutes. Discussion of results is more thorough in the advanced mapping tutorial. As that tutorial directly assess the difference between multiple mapping types. |

- Does it effect the mutations that are called?
- Does it effect the percent of reads mapped as was observed in the advanced mapping tutorial?
