- If `--additional_fasta` is provided then the features in this file (e.g. ERCC spike-ins) will be automatically concatenated onto both the reference FASTA file as well as the GTF annotation before building the appropriate indices.

As of v3.7 of the pipeline, if you are using a genome downloaded from AWS iGenomes and using `--aligner star_salmon` (default) the version of STAR to use for the alignment will be auto-detected (see [#808](https://github.com/nf-core/rnaseq/issues/808)).

If you are using [GENCODE](https://www.gencodegenes.org/) reference genome files please specify the `--gencode` parameter because the format of these files is slightly different to ENSEMBL genome files:

- The `--gtf_group_features_type` parameter will automatically be set to `gene_type` as opposed to `gene_biotype`, respectively.
