Description

Description of feature

I had success when running atacseq (-r 2.1.2) for samples with small genome. When I tried to run other samples with big genome and one of the chromosome size is larger than 500Mb. I set the "--bam_csi_index". However, I still got error message "....cannot be stored in a bai index. Try using a csi index". It seems the atacseq pipeline does not implement the bam_csi_index parameter. It would be greatly appreciated if this parameter can be implemented in atacseq pipeline.

Research direction

Start by locating the atacseq pipeline's parameter declaration and BAM indexing step. Check how the existing bam_bai_index behavior is wired and how --bam_csi_index is passed through. Done means large genomes can use a CSI index without the BAI size error; add or update coverage for that parameter if the repository has relevant tests.
