Finding the proper reference sequence is one of my biggest headaches. But then our facility deals with off-beat genomes.
Nils is correct that NCBI is a good bet to get your reference. But often the species specific web sites often have a more up-to-date reference than NCBI. Additionally different groups will annotate the same species in different ways. Thus there can be multiple web sites out there producing varying references.
I have now gotten to the point where I insist that the researcher (for who I am working) give me the *exact* web page where I can download their reference. None of the "oh, just assembly 4 of my desired species."

You should be able to find a reference genome for your species of interest at the NCBI website.Originally posted by donniemarco View PostLeave a comment:

454 assembling against reference genome
Hi,
Can anyone please let me know from where I can download "Reference Sequence" that I can run against BLAT. I came across this term quite too frequently but I am unsure which file might be the correct.
Regards!!

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
