salmon_index - highly-accurate, transcript-level quantification estimates from RNA-seq data

Index ========== Creates a salmon index.

Transcript fasta file.
quasi index.
salmon index.
This flag will expect the input transcript fasta to be in GENCODE format, and will split the transcript name at the first '|' character. These reduced names will be used in the output and when looking for these transcripts in a gene to transcript GTF.
This flag will disable the default indexing behavior of discarding sequence-identical duplicate transcripts. If this flag is passed, then duplicate transcripts that appear in the input will be retained and quantified separately.
Number of threads to use (only used for computing bias features)
[quasi index only] Build the index using a perfect hash rather than a dense hash. This will require less memory (especially during quantification), but will take longer to construct
The type of index to build; the only option is "quasi" in this version of salmon.
