Abstract

This dataset contains the reference files required to run the RICO pipeline for estimating ribosomal DNA (rDNA) copy number (CN) and methylation from long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing data. The tar.gz includes reference data for both human and mouse samples. Contents: Human: GRCh38 reference genome with five concatenated rDNA repeats (rDNA reference used: KY962518.1) rDNA gene annotation BED file Single-copy gene (SCG) BED panels (SCG-1, SCG-2, SCG-3) Mouse: GRCm39 reference genome with five concatenated rDNA repeats (rDNA reference used: BK000964.3) rDNA gene annotation BED file SCG BED panel These reference files are required for running the RICO pipeline:https://github.com/comprna/RICO The reference bundle is distributed as a compressed tar archive containing the full ref/ directory.
