14
15       reference_in
16              comma-separated list of files with ref sequences
17
18       bt2_index_base
19              write bt2 data to files with this dir/basename
20
21       *** Bowtie 2 indexes will work with Bowtie v1.2.3 and  later.  ***  Op‐
22       tions:
23
24       -f     reference files are Fasta (default)
25
26       -c     reference sequences given on cmd line (as <reference_in>)
27
28       --large-index
29              force  generated index to be 'large', even if ref has fewer than
30              4 billion nucleotides
31
32       --debug
33              use the debug binary; slower, assertions enabled
34
35       --sanitized
36              use sanitized binary; slower, uses ASan and/or UBSan
37
38       --verbose
39              log the issued command
40
41       -a/--noauto
42              disable automatic -p/--bmax/--dcv memory-fitting
43
44       -p/--packed
45              use packed strings internally; slower, less memory
46
47       --bmax <int>
48              max bucket sz for blockwise suffix-array builder
49
50       --bmaxdivn <int>
51              max bucket sz as divisor of ref len (default: 4)
52
53       --dcv <int>
54              diff-cover period for blockwise (default: 1024)
55
56       --nodc disable diff-cover (algorithm becomes quadratic)
57
58       -r/--noref
59              don't build .3/.4 index files
60
61       -3/--justref
62              just build .3/.4 index files
63
64       -o/--offrate <int>
65              SA is sampled every 2^<int> BWT chars (default: 5)
66
67       -t/--ftabchars <int>
68              # of chars consumed in initial lookup (default: 10)
69
70       --threads <int>
71              # of threads

75
76       -q/--quiet
77              verbose output (for debugging)
