How to download the Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.100.gtf and Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna.primary_assembly.fa files for my analysis?

I am trying to perform STAR alignment and I need the reference files for indexing. I would like to know how to download the Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.100.gtf and Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna.primary_assembly.fa files so that I can use my following code for indexing :

STAR --runMode genomeGenerate \
          --genomeDir ${FILE_PATH}/star_gff_genome_index \
          --genomeFastaFiles ${FILE_PATH}/annotation/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna.primary_assembly.fa \
          --sjdbGTFfile ${FILE_PATH}/annotation/Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.100.gtf \
          --sjdbOverhang 100 \
          --runThreadN 21

Change the links to release 100 if you really want the same annotation version.

Use the one from GENCODE. That's what the authors also recommend using.

Check the STAR manual. They refer to the specific versions that you need.
