I'm doing some research on plant virus metagenomics, I'm confused with removing host (plants) RNA sequences. Different methods yield different mapping results, 95% mapping to the genome and 78% mapping to the transcriptome. I'm afraid if more mapping to the genome is because of false-positive results. I tried different mapping software, BWA-mem and Hisat2, but results were same: more mapped read on the genome.
