alignment used for CCLE RNA-seq

Hi.

I recently downloaded the CCLE RNA-seq bam files from the GDC legacy archive. I'm trying to figure out which program was used to align the reads but can't find the documentation for the RNA-seq protocol. Does anyone know how the reads were aligned? I tried emailing the CCLE help but haven't gotten a reply.

Thank you.

It's in the associated analysis metadata files:
