+Arguments to run the pipeline can be provided either using the command line or property files. The `examples` folder contains skeletons for configuring the environment and executing jobs to load genotyped and aggregated VCF files and to drop studies from the database.
 
 `application.properties` is used to configure database connections and applications the pipeline depends on (OpenCGA and Ensembl VEP, see _Dependencies_ section).

     java -jar target/eva-pipeline-2.0-beta2-SNAPSHOT.jar \
