Reference genome related files and options required for the workflow.

Name of iGenomes reference.

type: string

If using a reference genome configured in the pipeline using iGenomes, use this parameter to give the ID for the reference. This is then used to build the full paths for all required reference genome files e.g. --genome GRCh38.
