-Use Bowtie 2 instead of Bowtie to align reads. Since currently RSEM does not handle indel, local and discordant alignments, the Bowtie2 parameters are set in a way to avoid those alignments. In particular, we use options '--very-sensitive --dpad 0 --gbar 99999999 --mp 1,1 --np 1 --score-min L,0,-rate'. "-rate", the last parameter of '--score-min' is the negative value of the mismatch rate provided by option '--bowtie2-mismatch-rate'. If reads are paired-end, we additionally use options '--no-mixed' and '--no-discordant'. (Default: off)
