DESCRIPTION
HISAT2 version 2.2.1 by Daehwan Kim (infphilo@gmail.com, www.ccb.jhu.edu/people/infphilo)

<m2> Files with #2 mates, paired with files in <m1>.

<m1>, <m2>, <r> can be comma-separated lists (no whitespace) and can be specified
many times. E.g. '-U file1.fq,file2.fq -U file3.fq'.

Input:
-q query input files are FASTQ .fq/.fastq (default)

--no-templatelen-adjustment
disables template length adjustment for RNA-seq reads
Scoring:
--mp <int>,<int>
max and min penalties for mismatch; lower qual = lower penalty <6,2>
--sp <int>,<int>
max and min penalties for soft-clipping; lower qual = lower penalty <2,1>
--no-softclip
no soft-clipping
--np <int>
penalty for non-A/C/G/Ts in read/ref (1)
--rdg <int>,<int>
read gap open, extend penalties (5,3)
--rfg <int>,<int>
reference gap open, extend penalties (5,3)
--score-min <func> min acceptable alignment score w/r/t read length
(L,0.0,-0.2)
Reporting:
-k <int>
It searches for at most <int> distinct, primary alignments for each read. Primary
alignments mean alignments whose alignment score is equal to or higher than any
other alignments. The search terminates when it cannot find more distinct valid
alignments, or when it finds <int>, whichever happens first. The alignment score
for a paired-end alignment equals the sum of the alignment scores of the individual
mates. Each reported read or pair alignment beyond the first has the SAM
???secondary??? bit (which equals 256) set in its FLAGS field. For reads that have
more than <int> distinct, valid alignments, hisat2 does not guarantee that the
<int> alignments reported are the best possible in terms of alignment score.
Default: 5 (linear index) or 10 (graph index). Note: HISAT2 is not designed with
large values for -k in mind, and when aligning reads to long, repetitive genomes,
large -k could make alignment much slower.
--max-seeds <int>
HISAT2, like other aligners, uses seed-and-extend approaches. HISAT2 tries to
extend seeds to full-length alignments. In HISAT2, --max-seeds is used to control
the maximum number of seeds that will be extended. For DNA-read alignment
(--no-spliced-alignment), HISAT2 extends up to these many seeds and skips the rest
of the seeds. For RNA-read alignment, HISAT2 skips extending seeds and reports no
alignments if the number of seeds is larger than the number specified with the
option, to be compatible with previous versions of HISAT2. Large values for
--max-seeds may improve alignment sensitivity, but HISAT2 is not designed with
large values for --max-seeds in mind, and when aligning reads to long, repetitive
genomes, large --max-seeds could make alignment much slower. The default value is
the maximum of 5 and the value that comes with -k times 2.
-a/--all
HISAT2 reports all alignments it can find. Using the option is equivalent to using
both --max-seeds and -k with the maximum value that a 64-bit signed integer can
represent (9,223,372,036,854,775,807).
--repeat
report alignments to repeat sequences directly
Paired-end:
-I/--minins <int>
minimum fragment length (0), only valid with --no-spliced-alignment
-X/--maxins <int>
maximum fragment length (500), only valid with --no-spliced-alignment
--fr/--rf/--ff -1, -2 mates align fw/rev, rev/fw, fw/fw (--fr)
--no-mixed
suppress unpaired alignments for paired reads
--no-discordant
suppress discordant alignments for paired reads
Output:

--summary-file <path> print alignment summary to this file.
--new-summary
print alignment summary in a new style, which is more machine-friendly.
--quiet
print nothing to stderr except serious errors
--met-file <path>
send metrics to file at <path> (off)
--met-stderr
send metrics to stderr (off)
--met <int>
report internal counters & metrics every <int> secs (1)
--no-head

--no-sq
suppress @SQ header lines
--rg-id <text>

--rg <text>

when --rg-id is set.
--omit-sec-seq
