    Hi Michelle Lian

    Both of these "extra args" arguments are used to add flexibility to the WDL. They are kind of a catch all string so that if someone would like to run this pipeline but they want to alter some of Mutect's arguments they can use this WDL as is and just provide the arguments as inputs to the WDL (rather than having to edit the WDL to include more arguments).

    Both of the "extra args" arguments are optional, so you can run the pipeline without providing anything for them. If you are just trying to run Mutect on mitochondria yourself without using WDL, then you can also ignore these "extra args" arguments and remove them from your script. 

    I hope this helps!
