Add human reference genome to prepared databases

Open dportik opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

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!
