Description

Description of feature

Autogenerate index in json format so that it can be used as an input via params-file for any other pipeline
(we'd need unique keys within pipelines for igenomes assets (the files, not the genomes))
(thinking bwa vs bwa_index and so on)

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the pipeline's reference-asset generation and params-file handling, then determine how an autogenerated JSON index should represent assets with unique keys such as bwa and bwa_index. Done means the index is generated in JSON and can be consumed as a params-file by another pipeline.
