Create index for [Salmon](https://salmon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/salmon.html) quantification. Salmon index of transcriptome, required for mapping-based mode of Salmon. The index is created via an auxiliary k-mer hash over k-mers of length 31. While mapping algorithms will make use of arbitrarily long matches between the query and reference, the k-mer size selected here will act as the minimum acceptable length for a valid match. A k-mer size of 31 seems to work well for reads of 75bp or longer, although smaller size might improve sensitivity. A smaller k-mer size is suggested when working with shorter reads.
