Description

From https://github.com/griffithlab/pVACtools/issues/643#issuecomment-1349946776:

There should probably also be a flag --ignore-rna-in-tiering(?) that allows for tiering to treat the experiment as if it has no RNA (even if some of those values exist) - this could be useful when the RNA is of really poor quality.

Research direction

Start by locating the tiering command and its existing handling of RNA values, then inspect any related command-line options and tests. Implement the requested flag so tiering behaves as though no RNA values are available, and verify that tiering with the flag ignores otherwise present RNA data.
