Add human reference genome to prepared databases
Hi Titus et al, Given the recent fiasco related to mapping reads to microbial databases without human references (links at bottom), it might be a good time to create a small human genome database for use with sourmash. A standalone database on the database page would be ideal, so that researchers can include with the other databases of interest.
Thanks for considering!
