Uhh... are there stochastic genomics pipelines?

A quick search gave me for example this one: https://genome.cshlp.org/content/26/1/36

I guess the author refers to the fact that many well-known tools have some randomness built-in. The most obvious one is differences due to the order of parallel processing. But these differences are often small and have no significant downstream effects. They are mostly inconvenient for regression testing.
