I should add that for my case it was -I93 -J100.  The reads were only 
76bp and
it was common to have a few bp mismatches on the ends, hence 93% 
identity.  -J instead
of -Y because it was transcripts searching a reads database rather than 
the other way around.  80% is pretty low if the short sequences should 
be present 1:1 in the assembled genome, even for a highly polymorphic 
genome where only one haplotype might be present.
