Allow configuration of genome index type
Enhancement
In this release, we enable users to configure the type of genome indexing they used to build genomes with HISAT2. In particular users have the choice of using standard
(default) and splice-aware
values for the genome_index_type
configurable option. Using the standard
genome index option instead of the splice-aware
option reduces the memory requirement for this particular process from ~200GB, to ~8GB according to HISAT2's documentation.
