I've added to htseq-count a check that a read gets skipped if it has tag
"NH:i:n" with n>1. However, not all aligner use the NH tag properly, so
this is not a full solution. Another possibility is to discard
everything with mapping quality below 10, because non-uniquly mapped
reads should have a MAPQ<3.
How is life in Umeå?
