Some envisioned use-cases include investigating what the alignments look like. It would be nice if users didn't need to reverse engineer from the profile.tsv which reference genomes correspond to which, and the sam/bam files just stayed in the in --temp_dir. Perhaps a judiciously placed tee command somewhere here?
