iGenomes

To make the use of reference genomes easier, Illumina has developed a centralized resource called iGenomes. The most commonly used reference genome files are organized in a consistent structure for multiple genomes.

We have downloaded a copy of iGenomes onto our cluster in /cluster/tufts/biocontainers/datasets/igenomes.

Below is the list of model organisms in iGenomes:

• Arabidopsis thaliana

• Bacillus cereus ATCC 10987

• Bacillus subtilis 168
