Hi! I’m trying to understand the HUMAnN3 printouts.

I see there’s now sections like the portion below that refer to hits. Are these hits “reads”?  
If not, how can I get read counts, instead of RPKs from HUMAnN3?

Full log below.  
These reads don’t add up for a full accounting. What’s going on?

HUMAnN’s rawest outputs are RPK units; we don’t have a mode to output integer counts because we allow reads to map to multiple genes (and then divide the read’s weight over those genes). The “hits” you are seeing in the log files are raw counts of alignments of reads by bowtie2 and diamond. A read can in principle participate in multiple hits that HUMAnN counts, especially in the translated search phase (diamond).
