Reference Genomes

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.

Cow, UMD3.1
Mouse, mm9

When using a custom manifest file, specify a reference genome in the Build ID column. Reference genome names are case sensitive.
