+    1. Genbank files are currently expected to have GI numbers for indexing. This means custom Genbank files (not downloaded from NCBI) will not have annotations appear in Gingr, though the alignment should still work. The dependency on GIs is expected to change in future versions.
+    2. GenBank files can only be specific for the reference genome
+    3. -g and -r are mutually exclusive; you can either provide a fasta file for your reference genome, or GenBank file, but not both.
+    4. All non-reference genomes are captured with the -d parameter. These genomes *must* be in fasta format and located within the specified directory.
