Pre-formatted Metagenomic and Human reference datasets

[RTG Announcements]

While reference datasets can be created from existing FASTA files solely using RTG commands, to make full use of RTG functionality this can require the creation of additional configuration files. For example, the metagenomic species abundance tools work best when provided with species taxonomy information, and to make use of the sex-aware capabilities of the human variant calling pipeline requires reference configuration specifying sex chromosome information and the location of PAR regions.

To get our customers up and running more smoothly, we have provided several commonly used datasets in a pre-formatted form.  The following datasets are available:

Human reference genomes:

1000g_v37_phase2.sdf.zip (996.8 MB)

hg19.sdf.zip (984.4 MB)

GRCh38.sdf.zip (999.2 MB)

Metagenomics support databases:

references-filter.zip (984.4 MB)

references-protein.zip (4.90 GB)

references-species.zip (5.52 GB)

The "Pipeline Commands" section of the user manual has instructions on how to use these databases, as well as how you can create and use your own databases.
