Reference datasets

Pawsey hosts a number of life science reference datasets centrally to save users from repeatedly downloading the same common datasets. These are hosted on /scratch/references/ . Additional references can be added if there is sufficient user interest. If there is something you would like to have added, please drop us a line at help@pawsey.org.au. Below is the current list of datasets:

Sarek nf-core pipeline reference 

iGenome files for GATK GRCh38. By pointing to these references files, users can avoid slowdowns from Sarek downloading and cache-checking if it performs the download itself. Use the `--igenomes_base` flag to point to the local reference files.
