Reference Genomes

The following reference genomes are available for alignment:

▶ Homo sapiens UCSC hg19 (RefSeq & Gencode gene annotations)
▶ Homo sapiens UCSC hg38 (RefSeq & Gencode gene annotations)

The human reference genome is PAR-Masked, which means that the Y chromosome sequence has the Pseudo Autosomal Regions (PAR) masked (set to N) to avoid mismapping of reads in the duplicate regions of sex chromosomes.
