Which algorithm is used depends on the arguments passed to salmon quant. If you provide salmon with alignments '\-a [ \fB\-\-alignments\fR ]' then the alignment\-based algorithm will be used, otherwise the algorithm for quantifying from raw reads will be used. .IP to view the help for salmon's selective\-alignment\-based mode, use the command .IP salmon quant \fB\-\-help\-reads\fR .IP To view the help for salmon's alignment\-based mode, use the command .IP salmon quant \fB\-\-help\-alignment\fR
