Both '--read_length' and '--macs_gsize' not specified! Please specify either to infer MACS2 genome size for peak calling. #328

Description of the bug

Hi,

I've tried to run the pipeline and I've ended up having an error which didn't show up the last time I ran it:

./nextflow run nf-core/chipseq --single_end --input ./design.csv --outdir ./Results_chipseq --genome GRCh38 -profile singularity --narrow_peak

Both '--read_length' and '--macs_gsize' not specified! Please specify either to infer MACS2 genome size for peak calling.

As you mention in your pipeline's documentation: https://nf-co.re/chipseq/2.0.0/parameters, --read_length is necessary for the peak calling if --macs_gsize is not provided. However, when you look at the --macs_gsize explanation, the documentation says that is not necessary to provide the --macs_gsize as long as you have been provided the --genome.

Having said that, I was wondering whether the documentation is not updated yet due to the fact that the --read_length parameter was included in the latest release. If this is the case, I'd really appreciate if you can include where we can find the --read_length and --macs_gsize information for several genomes in order to be able to run the pipeline. If it is not the case, I'd really appreciate if you can check the code in order to know what is going on.

Thank you,
Ariadna
