Soft Masked Version Of Hs37D5 Reference

Hi,

I am working with the hs37d5 reference assembly from the 1000 human genome project. For some downstream analysis I would need a FASTA version of the file with repeats soft masked by Repeat Masker as lower case letters. Can I produce such a file or download it already?

Cheers, Daniel

Hi, I am looking for hard-masked hs37d5 reference. Does anybody know where I can get it? Any help is appreciated.

you could use the chromosomes of the UCSC :

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg19/chromosomes/

This directory contains the Feb. 2009 assembly of the human genome (hg19, GRCh37 Genome Reference Consortium Human Reference 37 (GCA_000001405.1))

  • chr*.fa.gz: compressed FASTA sequence of each chromosome.

(...)

Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case.
